Augustine argued that skepticism leads to an infinite regress where one questions everything, ultimately leading to doubt about even the doubt itself. He also suggested that skepticism is self-defeating because doubting everything undermines the very reasoning necessary to engage in skepticism. Augustine believed that knowledge could be attained through faith and reason, asserting that faith in God provides a foundation for knowledge.
