Sommario/riassunto

This volume presents new work on infinitism, the view that there are no foundational reasons for beliefs-an ancient view in epistemology, now growing again in popularity. Leading epistemologists illuminate its strengths and weaknesses, and address questions new and old about justification, reasoning, responsibility, disagreement, and trust.
