Hyperintensionality

F Berto, D Nolan - 2021 - philpapers.org

Ground and grain

P Fritz - Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2022 - Wiley Online Library

Debunking logical ground: Distinguishing metaphysics from semantics

MM McSweeney - Journal of the American Philosophical Association, 2020 - cambridge.org
Many philosophers take purportedly logical cases of ground (such as a true disjunction
being grounded in its true disjunct (s)) to be obvious cases, and indeed such cases have …

Mathematical explanations: an analysis via formal proofs and conceptual complexity

F Poggiolesi - Philosophia Mathematica, 2024 - academic.oup.com
This paper studies internal (or intra-) mathematical explanations, namely those proofs of
mathematical theorems that seem to explain the theorem they prove. The goal of the paper …

Granularity

F Correia - The Routledge handbook of metaphysical grounding, 2020 - taylorfrancis.com
This chapter focuses on the question of how fine-grained grounding is. The author puts
forward a precise formulation of the question and explores the possible answers by means …

A semantics for the impure logic of ground

L DeRosset, K Fine - Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2023 - Springer
This paper establishes a sound and complete semantics for the impure logic of ground. Fine

Pure logic of iterated full ground

JE Litland - The Review of Symbolic Logic, 2018 - cambridge.org
This article develops the Pure Logic of Iterated Full Ground (plifg), a logic of ground that can
deal with claims of the form “ϕ grounds that (ψ grounds θ)”—what we call iterated grounding …

Grounding principles for (relevant) implication

F Poggiolesi - Synthese, 2021 - Springer
Most of the logics of grounding that have so far been proposed contain grounding axioms, or
