Anti-foundationalism

From Geography

Anti-foundationalism, as the name implies, is a term applied to any philosophy which rejects a foundationalist approach. An anti-foundationalist is one who refuses a vision of knowledge as ' grounded in reality' or as charged with the task of 'reflecting' the world (Rorty, 1979).
