Overall, this book will be essential reading not just for epistemologists focused on the regress problem, but also for anyone with a general interest in epistemology.

Cei Maslen Australasian Journal of Philosophy

Overall, the volume that Turri and Klein have put together is a fine addition to the growing discussion of infinitism. This is required reading for anyone already working in the area. As the essays comprising this volume demonstrate, whether or not substantive inquiry is unending, there is a great deal more to say about the prospects for infinitism.

Adam C. Podlaskowski, International Journal for the Study of Skepticism

Infinitism is an ancient view in epistemology about the structure of knowledge and epistemic justification, according to which there are no foundational reasons for belief. The view has never been popular, and is often associated with skepticism, but after languishing for centuries it has recently begun a resurgence. Ad Infinitum presents new work on the topic by leading epistemologists. They shed new light on infinitism's distinctive strengths and weaknesses, and address questions, new and old, about its account of justification, reasoning, epistemic responsibility, disagreement, and trust, among other important issues. The volume clarifies the relationship between infinitism and other epistemological views, such as skepticism, coherentism, foundationalism and contextualism, and it offers novel perspectives on the metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics of regresses and reasons.
