Theory Of Knowledge Epistemology Questions
The problem of the regress refers to the challenge of providing a satisfactory explanation or justification for our knowledge or beliefs. It arises when we attempt to justify a belief by appealing to another belief, and then that belief requires further justification, leading to an infinite regress. In other words, if every belief requires justification from another belief, we are left with an endless chain of justifications, which raises the question of how any belief can be ultimately justified. This problem challenges the foundation of our knowledge and raises doubts about the possibility of attaining certain knowledge.
