Philosophical analysis demonstrates reflexive stability as a foundation for inquiry under the Münchhausen trilemma, suggesting actionable epistemic frameworks without ultimate certainty.
A short philosophical paper proposing "reflexive stability" as a criterion for foundational postulates once final justification is abandoned (the Münchhausen trilemma). Two postulates are examined — Finitude and the Inescapability of Reason-Giving — each defended by an explicit, checkable pragmatic or formal argument rather than assumed certainty. Includes a minimal formal appendix and a set of self-directed objections.
