摘要

I discuss a novel strategy for blocking Bradleyan regresses that utilizes grounding claims for claims of the form aRb that include themselves within the claimed grounds. Such grounding claims act as regress blockers in the sense that raising the question why aRb, given the claimed grounds that include the grounding claim itself, entails either outright inconsistency – if the grounding claim concerns full grounds for aRb – or pragmatic infelicity – if the grounding claim concerns only partial grounds for aRb.
