Book Introduction: Return to Traditional Foundationalism Reza Sadeghi (Refer to the page image) Return to traditional foundationalism1, which has come to fruition through the efforts of the Research Institute of Philosophy and Theology of the Research Institute for Islamic Sciences and Culture, comprises a collection of articles by four contemporary analytical philosophers, edited by Michael DePaul and organized into three sections: In the first section, Richard Fumerton2 and Laurence BonJour3 each separately explain and defend their own theory of justification. In his theory of justification, by emphasizing the justificatory role of direct acquaintance, Fumerton goes beyond the concept of propositional knowledge and, by expanding the scope of epistemology, defends the justificatory role of a type of present awareness that is prior to propositional knowledge and is, in fact, the condition for its realization. BonJour, after returning to foundationalism, by referring to this type of present awareness and in response to the argument quoted above, writes: Here it actually seems that between the conceptual description and a non-conceptual part of the reality that has been described, a kind of "encounter" occurs, and this is something that many philosophers, unfortunately including myself, have deemed impossible and rejected. In conclusion, it is essential to remind that the book "Return to Traditional Foundationalism" only shows that within the field of contemporary analytic philosophy, one can find philosophers who recommend revising the foundations of modern epistemology.
