While controversy about the nature of grounding abounds, our focus is on a question for which a particular answer has attracted something like a consensus. The question concerns the relation between partial grounding and full grounding. 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.

完全和部分接地

虽然关于性质的争论接地比比皆是,我们的重点是一个特定答案已引起共识的问题。这个问题涉及到两者之间的关系部分的接地和满的接地。明显的共识是,前者应根据后者来定义。在本文中,我们认为执行此操作的标准方法面临一个重大问题,我们应该按照部分接地来定义完全接地的反向项目。我们提出的定义背后的指导思想是,完全接地是指当部分接地以确保接地不会超出接地的方式工作时发生的情况。我们最终通过迭代的“没有任何超越”的主张来理解这个想法。
