DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>Epistemic infinitists (Peter Klein\, Scott Aikin and others) reject foundationalism and coherentism\, and claim that the justification of a proposition derives from its heading an infinitely long chain of reasons\, each member of which provides justification for its successor. In this paper I present two reductio arguments against infinitism. A first reductio is to the effect that infinitism has the consequence that no one would ever have doxastic justification in any belief. The second and more important reductio is a long-standing objection to infinitism. This is the objection that if infinitism were true\, no proposition would ever be propositionally justified for anyone. I restate and try to sharpen this objection\, and argue that various attempts to rebut it have completely failed.</p>
