Worldly Grounding and the Puzzles
摘要
Starting with Kit Fine’s article “Some Puzzles of Ground” (2010), grounding has been argued to give rise to serious puzzles. The way the puzzles should be handled, I contend, depends on whether the concepts of grounding involved in the puzzles are worldly or representational. Here I focus on worldly grounding, and I argue that the formally best understood worldly concepts of worldly grounding, which I dub “weak-first”, escape all the currently known puzzles, including new puzzles that I introduce in due course.
