Moral Applicability of Agrippa's Trilemma [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 According to Agrippa's trilemma, an attempt to justify something leads to either infinite regress, circularity, or dogmatism. This essay examines whether and to what extent the trilemma applies to ethics. There are various responses to the trilemma, such as foundationalism, coherentism, contextualism, infinitism, and German idealism.

Metaphilosophy, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 196-213, April 2024.Abstract This paper provides a thorough analysis of two often informally stated claims.

Agrippa's trilemma: scepticism and contemporary epistemology [PDF]
, 2020 Take any belief of yours – even one about which you feel supremely confident. The Sceptic will ask: why do you think it is true? You might take yourself to have a very good reason to believe what you do. But the sceptic will also want to know why you think that this second thing is true as well.

Rule‐Following and Objective Spirit
Philosophical Investigations, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 76-98, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper deals with Wittgenstein’s rule‐following paradox, focussing on the infinite rule‐regress as featured in Kripke’s Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language.

Basic knowledge and the normativity of knowledge: The awareness‐first solution

Many have also found it plausible that certain cases of proprioceptive knowledge, memorial knowledge, and self‐evident knowledge are cases of knowledge that are not grounded in the possession of reasons ...

Nāgārjuna’s Pañcakoṭi, Agrippa’s Trilemma, and the Uses of Skepticism
Comparative Philosophy: An International Journal of Constructive Engagement of Distinct Approaches toward World Philosophy, 2016 While the contemporary problem of the criterion raises similar epistemological issues as Agrippa’s Trilemma in ancient Pyrrhonian skepticism, the consideration of such epistemological questions has served two different purposes. On one hand, there is the purely practical purpose of Pyrrhonism, in which such questions are a means to reach suspension ...

An Overview of Skeptical Worries: The Gettier Problem, Agrippa’s Trilemma, and the Brain-in-a-Vat
Filosofija. SociologijaHere I will explore through a literature review three important but different ways in which skepticism has been developed. The first is that of the Gettier problem and its potentially skeptical implications for knowledge. The second is Agrippa’s Trilemma, in which the non-skeptic ostensibly struggles to develop a satisfactory account of epistemic ...
