Clarification
In 'negative' theories, beliefs are accepted unless reasons suggest rejection
Gist of Idea
Negative coherence theories do not require reasons, so have no regress problem

A Reaction
A nice point. Such theories endorse Neurath's picture (Idea 6348). On the whole philosophers like positive support for their beliefs, so the rather passive picture of accepting everything unless it is undermined is not appealing. A fall-back position.
