Munchausen's trilemma
No solid basis of knowledge, logic, etc. can be obtained
German philosopher Hans Albert..
A Critical Theory of Reason" (1967)
Modern epistemology fundamentalism assumes justification by principle of sufficient reason (logic), but it develops critical rationalism as only a kind of dogmatism. rationalism] as it is only a kind of dogmatism.
In order for ground B to be correct for A, we need ground C for B, and so on ad infinitum (infinite regress).
If you use "axiom" that does not provide a basis for correctness somewhere, there is no basis for its correctness (Aporia of Axiom Setting).
If the chain A -> B -> C -> D -> ... comes back to A somewhere circular reasoning.

Sometimes it was written as infinite regress, but infinite regress, infinite regress, and going backwards without stopping are correct.
