You seem to be referring to reformed epistemology. But if reformed epistemology states the belief in god is a basic belief, i.e. it’s foundational, this would imply that even Pierce’s approach to justification would fail. Can one justify a foundational belief? I thought not. Otherwise it would not be foundational. But I may be confused again. Rich Clark: “I think we can salvage the general principle though.”
