Foundationalism is a theory about the structure of justified beliefs that divides beliefs into two categories, basic beliefs - which do not need other beliefs to be justified - and non-basic beliefs, which require other beliefs to be justified. Fundamentalists disagree on two important points, how basic beliefs are justified, and the other is how the justification spreads from fundamental beliefs to non-fundamental beliefs. Different approaches to these two issues have led to different perceptions of fundamentalism, which in a general division can be referred to as "extreme fundamentalism" and "modest fundamentalism", which today, both views have been criticized differently. Using a descriptive and desk-research method and reviewing Allameh Tabatabai's approach on fundamentalism, this paper studies the most important critiques against fundamentalism. Finally, it will become clear that Allameh Tabatabai's approach to fundamentalism is free from the shortcomings of Western fundamentalism.
