Regression addresses what has come before; it is a matter of
looking backward of retrospections? The motionless things of nature
are generally forward-looking their problem is that of the
question: Where do we go from here? It is primarily with
intelligent beings that we ask: How did we get to where we now find
ourselves? Regression and infinite regression in particular is thus
a concept that has gained a greater prominence in the human
sciences than in the sciences of nature. Argumentation to infinite
regress has long been a favored instrument of philosophical
dialectic. Philosophers have used it to disprove the positions they
model to criticize. Infinite regresses, so they reason, are
unrealizable: they cannot be completed so as to achieve some
definitive result. And thereby anything that would engender an
infinite regress is automatically made ineffective. Infinite
Regress examines the theory of regression and includes information
on the topics of vicious regress, innocuous regress, circularity
regress, and propositional regress. Also discussed is the history
of regression stemming from ancient times, to medieval times, to
early modern history. Some of the other chapters in this book focus
on world class philosophers including Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm
Friedrich Hegel, and Bertrand Russell. The book will play a
significant role in theoretical philosophy as well as in social
philosophy and the philosophy of mind.
