Infinite Regress Arguments: Viciousness [In the previous two chapters we have focused mainly on the derivation of infinite regresses. In this chapter we will concentrate some of our attention on the subordinate argument within an infinite regress argument that shows that the result entailed by an infinite regress is unacceptable. As mentioned in the first chapter, a result is unacceptable if either it is a false statement, or it conflicts with a statement or rule that we are unwilling to abandon. The following diagram, presented in the first chapter, helps us to locate the subordinate argument.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In the previous two chapters we have focused mainly on the derivation of infinite regresses. In this chapter we will concentrate some of our attention on the subordinate argument within an infinite regress argument that shows that the result entailed by an infinite regress is unacceptable. As mentioned in the first chapter, a result is unacceptable if either it is a false statement, or it conflicts with a statement or rule that we are unwilling to abandon. The following diagram, presented in the first chapter, helps us to locate the subordinate argument.]
