Description:
Infinite regress arguments are part of a philosopher's tool kit. But how sharp or strong is this tool? The author has collected and evaluated a host of infinite regress arguments, comparing and contrasting many of the formal and non-formal properties.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This is a much welcomed book. Its main message is: make your infinite regress argument explicit! The typical presentation of such an argument is, as Gratton puts it, 'so succinct and has so many gaps' ... that we hardly know what to think of it. ... The book is a very welcome addition to the philosophical toolkit."-- (Jan Willem Wieland, Argumentation, Vol. 25, 2011)
