A contemporary metaphysician who developed theories about grounding and how abstract objects exist in reality.
Worldly(metaphysics)
Relating to the actual world and how things really are, rather than just how we think or talk about them.
grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.)
A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.
hyperintensional structure(as used in philosophical logic)
An underlying framework or system that makes these ultra-fine distinctions between logically equivalent statements.
metaphysical explanation(At least three varieties are distinguished in recent literature regarding how property-sharing explains resemblance)
An explanation of why a fact obtains in terms of what grounds or accounts for it at the level of fundamental reality, not merely causal or logical explanation
