The Agrippan trilemma evaluates the structure of justification for a belief by eliminating possibilities: (1) If the chain of reasons is infinite, it is rejected because humans do not have an infinite number of reasons. (2) If the chain of reasons is circular, it is rejected because circular reasoning is unjustified. (3) This leaves the finite and linear structure as the remaining possibility for justification.
