Michael Huemer - Foundations and Coherence looks like a nice, introductory review paper on epistemic regress.

Where did the brain go? rws1st December 28 2005, 08:20:13 UTC
I think its very odd to have a discussion about how beliefs are justified without reference to the brain, neurons, and anything in the cognitive science area. Also the purpose of having a beliefs is not addressed, its as if the only reason we have beliefs is to generate more beliefs ( ... )

It's always nice to think about the evolution of cognition... but strangely or not, our rationality is pretty limited.

While coherence is a great high level cognitive activity, you have to generate the beliefs by some more basic process before you go about trying to and cohere them.

Sure.
