Philosophy Compass 7.11 (2012): 794-807. [doi: 10.1111/j.1747-9991.2012.00516.x].

Abstract: Ever since F. H. Bradley first formulated his (in)famous regress argument philosophers have been hard at work trying to refute it. The argument fails, it has been suggested, either because its conclusion just does not follow from its premises, or it fails because one or more of its premises should be given up. In this paper, the Bradleyan argument as well as some of the many and varied reactions is has received is scrutinized.
