✓ Properly Basic Beliefs?

This essay critiques Alvin Plantinga’s notion of properly basic beliefs, particularly regarding belief in God, arguing it diverges from coherent epistemology. Key issues include allowing unjustified beliefs, fostering epistemic arbitrariness, initiating an infinite regress of reliability, and conflating epistemology with ontology. Additionally, it highlights logical fallacies in Plantinga’s framework, asserting that beliefs should be anchored in evidence consistent with rational standards.
