In the last decade, the familiar problem of the regress of reasons
has returned to prominent consideration in epistemology. And with
the return of the problem, evaluation of the options available for
its solution is begun anew. Reason's regress problem, roughly put,
is that if one has good reasons to believe something, one must have
good reason to hold those reasons are good. And for those reasons,
one must have further reasons to hold they are good, and so a
regress of reasons looms. In this new study, Aikin presents a full
case for infinitism as a response to the problem of the regress of
reasons. Infinitism is the view that one must have a
non-terminating chain of reasons in order to be justified. The most
defensible form of infinitism, he argues, is that of a mixed theory
- that is, epistemic infinitism must be consistent with and
integrate other solutions to the regress problem.
