Munchhausen-Trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Munchhausen-Trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "# All justifications in pursuit of certain knowledge have also to justify the means of their justification and doing so they have to justify anew the means of their justification. Therefore there can be no end. We are faced with the hopeless situation of 'infinite regression'.
# One can stop at self-evidence or common sense or fundamental principles or speaking 'ex cathedra' or at any other evidence, but in doing so the intention to install certain justification is abandoned.
# The third horn of the trilemma is the application of a circular and therefore invalid argument."
