I'm currently reading Susan Haack's book "Evidence and Inquery" and as some of you probably already know she attempts to bridge the gap between Foundationalism and Coherentism. I may be mistaken, but by my understanding, the gap between foundationalism and coherentism is within the internalist camp when it comes to justification.

Is Haack bridging the said gap within internalist conceptions of justification i.e. foundatinalism and coherentism,, or does she also bridge the gap between internalism and externalism as well?

Lest we run into the isolation objection to internalism, does Haack completely rule out an externalist take on justification?
