The ideas of reason holism and default reason are respectively intuitively plausible. However, on closer examination, they seem to be incompatible with each other. Dancy proposed to solve this paradox by construing the concept of default reason as default reason. The concept of default reason is problematic, however, or so I will argue. So Dancy's proposal does not work. In this paper, I propose two possible ways to resolve the paradox. One is to construe the idea of default reason as an epistemological one so as to circumvent confrontation with the idea of reason holism. The other is to give up on the idea of default reason and explain why it has seemed so intuitive to most of us while it is in fact erroneous. I shall argue that these two solutions are plausible so we should not feel despaired of the paradox.
