 Ricki Bliss, e.g., speaking of the infinite regress of ontologically dependent entities, says (2013, 408): “In a reality that admitted of no foundations … although everything has its reality accounted for in terms of that upon which it depends, we have failed to explain how the whole lot of them—everything—has any reality at all.” Compare to the infinite borrowers case: for any given instance of someone having received a bag of sugar, we can explain where that bag of sugar came from: it came from the next person in the chain. But what we can’t explain is a global fact about the series as a whole: why is this bag of sugar in the series in the first place?
