The logic of ground

Ground by Status

“…Following the common terminology of the debate on grounding, let us call a conception of grounding that countenances Worldliness of Ground a ‘worldly conception’ of grounding, and a conception that does not a ‘representational’ (or ‘conceptualist’) conception of grounding. 15 Accounts of grounding that either explicitly state that they concern a worldly conception of grounding or which incorporate grounding-principles that plausibly correspond to a worldly conception include (Audi 2012a , b ; Correia ( 2010 , forthcoming ); Correia and Skiles ( 2019 ); Fine ( 2012a , 2012b (semantic side), 2017a; and Lovett ( 2020 ). Accounts of grounding that correspond to a representational conception include Correia ( 2017a , 2017b , 2018 ; deRosset and Fine ( 2022 ); Fine ( 2012a )b (proof-theoretic side); Krämer ( 2018 ), 2019 ; Rosen ( 2010 ); and Schnieder ( 2010 ).…”

“… 21 See e.g. Correia ( 2010 ) and Lovett ( 2020 ) for proposals of how to regiment the relevant disconnectedness. …”

A Simple Proof of Grounding Internality

“…The claim originally comes from Correia and Skiles (). In Lovett (forthcoming), I argue for it on independent grounds.…”

“…As I've said, this amalgamation rule isn't valid in fine‐grained systems like the one in Correia () or even Fine (). But it is in coarse‐grained systems like the one I present in Lovett (forthcoming). And it may be valid in systems of intermediate coarseness, although the territory of such systems is not well‐explored.…”
