Opis

During the last decade, the familiar problem of the regress of reasons has returned to prominent consideration in epistemology. In this new study, Aikin presents a full case for infinitism as a response to the issue of the regress of reasons.

Recenzje

'Scott Aikin's excellent book, Epistemology and the Regress Problem, is a thorough, engagingly written, and often humorous exploration, explication, and defense of a version of infinitism about justification -- the view that the structure of epistemically justifying reasons is infinite. ... With utter and all due respect for Peter Klein's seminal work in the service of infinitism, this book sets the new standard.'
– Kelly Becker, University of New Mexico, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
