I begin by formulating a puzzle about grounds of disjunctions and fundamentality which puts pressure on some standard ways of thinking about logical grounds. An alternative to the standard picture of logical grounds is introduced which resolves the puzzle and has much else to recommend it in terms of its scope and uniformity. Sections 1 and 2 set out the puzzle, Sections 3–6 set out my preferred solution, and Section 7 concludes
Metaphysical foundationalism
Metaphysical foundationalism is the view that ground is well-founded. Despite its reputation as the default view of the general structure of reality, it is a view with few explicit defenders whose theoretical virtues remain largely unexplored. This paper makes an abductive case for metaphysical foundationalism, which lays emphasis on these virtues as relevant to theory choice. As part of the discussion I outline a new theory of ground and of gene…
