The aim of this paper is to introduce, elucidate and defend the usefulness of a variant of grounding, or metaphysical explanation, that has the feature that the grounds explain of some states of affairs that one of them obtains without explaining which one obtains. I will dub this variant arbitrary grounding. After informally elucidating the basic idea in the first section, I will provide three metaphysical hypotheses that are best formulated in terms of arbitrary grounding in the second section. The third section will be concerned with the relation between arbitrary grounding and non-arbitrary grounding. The fourth section will compare arbitrary grounding to two extant proposals in the literature.

任意接地

本文的目的是介绍、阐明和捍卫基础或形而上学解释的变体的有用性,该变体具有以下特征:根据解释其中一个获得的某些事态,而不解释哪一个获得。我将把这个变种称为任意接地。在第一部分非正式地阐明了基本思想之后,我将在第二部分中提供三个形而上学假设,这些假设最好根据任意基础来表述。第三部分将涉及任意接地和非任意接地之间的关系。第四部分将任意接地与文献中的两个现有建议进行比较。
