“…This is (an instance of) what in [6] Fine calls the puzzle of ground. 2 For a more comprehensive introduction to the concept of (partial) ground we rely on in this paper and further literature references, see Sections 1 and 2 of the first part of this paper. 3 This is, in any case, the standard view of partial ground.…”

This is part two of a two-part paper in which we develop an axiomatic theory of the relation of partial ground. The main novelty of the paper is the of use of a binary ground predicate rather than an operator to formalize ground. In this part of the paper, we extend the base theory of the first part of the paper with hierarchically typed truth-predicates and principles about the interaction of partial ground and truth. We show that our theory is a proof-theoretically conservative extension of the ramified theory of positive truth up to 0 and thus is consistent. We argue that this theory provides a natural solution to Fine's "puzzle of ground" about the interaction of truth and ground. Finally, we show that if we apply the truth-predicate to sentences involving our ground-predicate, we run into paradoxes similar to the semantic paradoxes: we get ground-theoretical paradoxes of self-reference.

“…Grounding is either described as a "special sort of non-causal priority" Correia and Schnieder (2012) or as an "objective relation which is explanatory in nature" Correia (2014). Grounding is typically conveyed by the linguistic expression 'because', but other expressions like 'in virtue of' and 'due to' can also serve the purpose.…”

“…In Sections 4 and 5 we will present the logics introduced in Fine (2012a) and Correia (2014), respectively. Instead of considering these logics in the framework of the first-order language, which is the one used by their authors, we will only focus on the framework of the propositional language; moreover, we will restrict the logics of Fine and Correia to the only notion of (weak or strict) full and immediate grounding.…”

Grounding interventionism: Conceptual and epistemological challenges

Examining Philosophy Itself

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Philosophers have recently highlighted substantial affinities between causation and grounding, which has inclined some to import the conceptual and formal resources of causal interventionism into the metaphysics of grounding. The prospect of grounding interventionism raises two important questions: exactly what are grounding interventions, and why should we think they enable knowledge of grounding? This paper will approach these questions by examining how causal interventionists have addressed (or might address) analogous questions and then comparing the available options for grounding interventionism. I argue that grounding interventions must be understood in worldly terms, as adding something to or deleting something from the roster of entities, or making some fact obtain or fail to obtain. I consider three bases for counterfactual assessment: imagination, structural equation models, and background theory. I conclude that grounding interventionism requires firmer epistemological foundations, without which the interventionist's epistemology of grounding is incomplete and ineffectually rationalist.
