 As with sugar, likewise with being—or justification, or goodness, or whatever feature we aim to account for. If \(A\) depends on \(B\) and \(B\) is fundamental, where did \(A\)’s being come from? From \(B\). If \(A\) depends on \(B\) and \(B\) depends on \(C\), where did \(A\)’s being come from? Ultimately, from \(C\). And for any finite chain, no matter how long, we can say where the being of any dependent entity ultimately comes from: from the fundamental thing(s) at the bottom of the chain. But if the chain is infinite, the being of any thing is, arguably, as mysterious as Anne’s new bag of sugar. The explanation of where it came from is always postponed, and its presence in the system as a whole unexplained. So, at least, goes the regress objection.
