Abstract
AbstractWhile controversy about the nature ofgroundingabounds, our focus is on a question for which a particular answer has attracted something like a consensus. The question concerns the relation betweenpartialgrounding andfullgrounding. The apparent consensus is that the former is to be defined in terms of the latter. In this article, we argue that the standard way of doing this faces a significant problem and that we ought to pursue the reverse project of defining full grounding in terms of partial grounding. The guiding idea behind the definition we propose is that full grounding is what happens when partial grounding works in a way that ensures that the grounded is nothing over and above the grounds. We ultimately understand this idea in terms of iterated ‘nothing over and above’ claims.
