In [[epistemology]], the '''regress argument''' is the argument that any proposition requires a justification. However, any justification itself requires support. This means that any proposition whatsoever can be endlessly questioned, resulting in infinite regress. It is a problem in epistemology and in any general situation where a statement has to be justified. The argument is also known as [[diallelus]] or [[diallelon]], from Greek di' allelon "through or by means of one another" and as the epistemic regress problem. It is an element of the Münchhausen trilemma.
