Presuppose(what both foundationalisms supposedly do)
To assume or take for granted something as true in order to make an argument work, without proving it first.
Transmit justification(as used in epistemology)
When one person's good reason for believing something can give another person a good reason to believe it too, even if they didn't experience it firsthand.
inferential(describing the reasoning process used in philosophy)
Related to inference—the process of drawing conclusions based on evidence or reasons rather than direct observation.
