Theory and Applications of Grounding (OUP 2023) develops a theory of grounding that articulates the prominent philosophical view that reality is structured in layers\, with higher-level phenomena depending on and being determined by more fundamental ones.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>We welcome papers that engage critically and constructively with the arguments and themes of the book.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>https://academic.oup.com/book/45749&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Topics may include\, but are not limited to:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Grounding and Fundamentality&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The Relata of Grounding&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>What Grounds the Grounding Facts&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Grounding and Reduction&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Grounding and Causality&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Grounding and Multiple Realizability&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Metaphysical Laws&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Truth and Grounding&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The Connection Problem&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Contributions should aim to engage directly with the content and arguments of Fundamental Things\, ideally fostering a dialogue with its author and its broader philosophical implications.The symposium-formally known as a Focus-will consist of:&nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>a short\, two-page pr&eacute\;cis of deRosset&rsquo\;s book written by the author\;&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>a number of contributors&rsquo\; papers engaging with its themes\;&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>a collective response by deRosset addressing the contributors&rsquo\; papers.&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submission Guidelines&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>We are looking for contributions of approximately 8\,000 words (including references).
