#Coherentism

Coherentism is the school that proclaims the absence of gaps in the web of beliefs as the mark of truth. Even when new evidence appears, its adherents busily reinforce existing knots rather than rewoven the mesh. For them, contradictions are nightmares to be exorcised, not clues to be followed. They elevate preserving one’s own consistency over the pursuit of truth, ultimately retreating into the fortress of their convictions.
