Starting with the slogan that understanding is a ‘knowledge of causes’, Stephen Grimm and John Greco have argued that understanding comes from a knowledge of dependence relations. Grounding is the trendiest dependence relation on the market, and if Grimm and Greco are correct, then instances of grounding should also give rise to understanding. In this paper, I will show that this prediction is correct – grounding does indeed generate understanding in just the way that Grimm and Greco anticipate. However, grounding examples of understanding also show that Grimm and Greco are not telling the full story when it comes to understanding. Understanding can only be generated by a particular subset of dependence relations – those dependence relations that are also explanatory. Grimm and Greco should thus appeal to a privileged class of dependence relations, relations like grounding that can also give rise to explanation.

基础、理解和解释

从理解是一种“原因知识”的口号开始，斯蒂芬·格林和约翰·格列柯争辩说，理解来自于依赖关系的知识。接地是市场上最流行的依赖关系，如果 Grimm 和 Greco 是正确的，那么接地实例也应该引起理解。在这篇论文中，我将证明这个预测是正确的——接地确实以 Grimm 和 Greco 预期的方式产生了理解。然而，理解的基础例子也表明，在理解方面，格林和格列柯并没有讲述完整的故事。理解只能由依赖关系的特定子集产生——那些依赖关系也具有解释性。因此，格林和格列柯应该诉诸特权阶级的依赖关系，
