Is the debate between foundationalism and coherentism ([[Reference Notes/Books/The Edge of Reason#Foundationalist vs Coherentism|The Edge of Reason]]) resolved by the idea that words and beliefs don't mirror the real world, but provide landmarks for coordination? In [[Language vs Reality]], Enfield argues that there are two basic types of reality which language can attempt to describe: brute reality and social reality. While language imperfectly captures brute reality, it is indispensable to social reality. This seems to me a more important distinction than the one drawn by foundationalism vs coherentism.
