Agrippas Trilemma Socks
Main Tag:
Description: A single glowing WHY? branches into three dead ends: an infinite regress, a circle and a wall of dogma. Can any belief ever be completely justified? Every reason needs a reason. Either the chain goes on forever, or it circles back on itself, or it stops at an unjustified assumption. The sceptic concludes: suspend judgement. Source: Agrippa the Sceptic, 1st c., reported by Sextus Empiricus, after Pyrrho of Elis.
