Properly basic beliefs. (Reformed Epistemology)

[Stempy]

This post is a refutation and thoughts of Alvin Plantinga's idea of 'properly basic belief' concept, which basically states that a belief that is 'properly basic' is one that is at the foundation of one's application of reason and logic and thus the belief cannot be tested.

Hi theVOID,

Hope you don't mind if I saunter in. I think if you're really going to "refute" Plantinga's concept of proper basicality, you will have to actually argue using the terms as Plantinga defines them. Plantinga does not define a properly basic belief as "one that is at the foundation of one's application of reason and logic". You are wading into the deep waters of analytic philosophy, where semantics is king. As a fan of Plantinga's Reformed Epistemology (though not necessarily an advocate) I would love to see you engage with his view as he defines it.
