Paul Hoyningen-Huene's Systematicity (2013) is a most welcome return to the forgotten questions of the general philosophy of science. The Systematicity Theory provides foundations for demarcating science from everyday knowledge, providing clues for a rational explanation of the nature of science and to separate it from pseudoscience. I propose here a dialog between Systematicity Theory and a coherentist position due to Mario Bunge, in order to point on some limits of Hoyningen's stance.
