Course/Module description:
In recent years, metaphysicians have been taking an increasing interest in the grounding relation - the relation that exists, roughly, when one thing holds in virtue of something else holding, a non-causal metaphysical priority relation. Thoughts about grounding are also of central importance in the metaphysical parts of metaethics (indeed, often the metaethical Euthyphro contrast is mentioned as a paradigm of a debate over grounding). In this seminar, we will discuss some of the general contemporary discussion of grounding in metaphysics, and some of its implications for metaethics.
Course/Module aims:
Familiarity with the relevant topics in metaphysics and metaethics, and the ability to critical reflect on texts and arguments in those areas.
