Abstract
[We have been examining in the previous chapters how some infinite regresses are generated, and we have observed that most infinite regresses are used to refute at least one statement involved in the entailment of vicious regresses. Infinite regresses are sometimes used to reject circular definitions and circular explanations. For some philosophers believe that circular definitions and circular explanations entail infinite regresses (Sanford, 1984: 94; Day, 1986: 97; Moore, 1962: 109; Rankin, 1981: 335). For example, here is Russell’s (1996:348–349) view on circular definition.]
