| Mar 10 at 20:44 | comment | added | Mark Rosenblitt-Janssen | Also: This "trilemma" is only an issue once people give up the Truth they were born with, going back in time and anchored to real history. The circularity of the trilemma is because people without Truth are trying to find an a priori to anchor to and it's impossible. Consider the identity axiom from math A=A. It's circular but we don't care because it's stating a visual syntax we can use. | |
| Mar 10 at 20:38 | comment | added | Mark Rosenblitt-Janssen | The trilemma gets engaged only because you're trying to prove something to another. "I saw it with my own eyes" is generally enough of a proof for the individual. What you're really asking is "How do I get power over another?" | |
| Dec 15, 2022 at 19:04 | comment | added | Dcleve | The Munchausen Trilemma is "unsolved" because solutions are impossible. All efforts at grounding knowledge end up in one of three of what are widely considered fallacies. See these answers: philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/64638/… | |

| Apr 19, 2021 at 11:54 | comment | added | CriglCragl | I would argue Hofstadter's model of strange loops is the only way to comprehensively address Munchausen's trilemma. In this view, we can picture each of the trilemmas tines as like a different part of the weaving process, to form a useful versatile structure, that is constantly being modified philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/70266/… 'Why?' is our song; our answers are our shifting shimmering, plumage. | |

| Oct 3, 2018 at 9:27 | comment | added | user20253 | Is it a trilemma or simply a description of the facts? It seems to be the latter. | |
| Jan 23, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | yters | Which option does the trilemma depend on? | |

| Jun 21, 2013 at 16:02 | comment | added | Annotations | "Wikipedia" calls it "unsolved". I disagree. | |
| Jun 21, 2013 at 14:01 | comment | added | commando | Where have you found people calling it "unsolved" specifically? What attempts to deal with it have you seen? It would be helpful if we knew what you've already researched. | |
