The Epistemic Regress Problem
The best extant statement of the epistemic regress problem makes assumptions that are too strong. An improved version assumes only that that reasons require support, that no proposition is supported only by endless regresses of reasons, and that some proposition is supported. These assumptions are individually plausible but jointly inconsistent. Attempts to explain support by means of unconcept...
متن کاملEpistemic and Dialectical Regress
Dialectical egalitarianism holds that every asserted proposition requires defence when challenged by an interlocutor. This view apparently generates a vicious “regress of justifications,” since an interlocutor can challenge the premises through which a speaker defends her original assertion, and so on ad infinitum. To halt the regress, dialectical foundationalists such as Adler, Brandom, Leite,...
متن کاملInfinite product representation of solution of indefinite SturmLiouville problem
In this paper, we investigate infinite product representation of the solution of a Sturm- Liouville equation with an indefinite weight function which has two zeros and/or singularities in a finite interval. First, by using of the asymptotic estimates provided in [W. Eberhard, G. Freiling, K. Wilcken-Stoeber, Indefinite eigenvalue problems with several singular points and turning points, Math. N...
متن کاملMultiple Head Comparison and Infinite Regress
The truth conditions of (1) are expressed by (1'). The operation of comparison is triggered by the elements more, fewer, less, as and -er. One of these elements always has to be present in the part of the comparative preceding than or as. Therefore, I will refer to these elements as `comparative operators'. Comparative operators usually immediately precede the element of which the degree or qua...
متن کاملProbabilistic Justification and the Regress Problem
We discuss two objections that foundationalists have raised against infinite chains of probabilistic justification. We demonstrate that neither of the objections can be maintained.
