DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for Papers: Book Symposium on Fundamental Things</strong></p>\n<p>Philosophical Inquiries\, Issue 1/2027</p>\n<p>Guest Editors: Giorgio Lando\, Giorgio Mazzullo</p>\n<p>We invite submissions for a book symposium on the themes of &ldquo\;Fundamental Things&rdquo\; (Oxford University Press\, 2023) to be published in the first 2027 issue of Philosophical Inquiries.</p>\n<p>Louis deRosset&rsquo\;s Fundamental Things. 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.</p>\n<p>We welcome papers that engage critically and constructively with the arguments and themes of the book.</p>\n<p>https://academic.oup.com/book/45749</p>\n<p>Topics may include\, but are not limited to:</p>\n\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Grounding and Fundamentality</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; The Relata of Grounding</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; What Grounds the Grounding Facts</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Grounding and Reduction</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Grounding and Causality</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Grounding and Multiple Realizability</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Metaphysical Laws</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; Truth and Grounding</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; * &nbsp\; The Connection Problem</p>\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.
