In the adoption of the very conventions (I)–(III) etc. whereby logic itself is set up, however, a difficulty remains to be faced. Each of these conventions is general, announcing the truth of every one of an infinity of statements conforming to a certain description; derivation of the truth of any specific statement from the general convention thus requires a logical inference, and this involves us in an infinite regress. E.g., in deriving (6) from (3) and (5) on the authority of (II) we infer, from the general announcement (II) and the specific premiss that (3) and (5) are true statements, the conclusion that … (6) is to be true. (Quine, “Truth by Convention”, p. 120)
