Foundationalism, or justificationism, is the idea that beliefs can be fully justified, proven true by some final authority beyond question.
I’m not sure foundationalism and justificationism are quite the same thing.
From BoI ch. 1 glossary:
[Justificationism is t]he misconception that knowledge can be genuine or reliable only if it is justified by some source or criterion.
Whereas foundationalism describes a prerequisite for knowledge to grow (properly). As in, needing a secure foundation or else the whole edifice falls apart.
I could see foundationalism being a flavor of justificationism, but not the same thing.
