This is the second conference organized as part of the reseach project Metaphysical Explanation (webpage here: https://metaphysicalexplanation.wordpress.com). It focuses on two things: (1) the choice between what is sometimes called unionism (i.e., the view that grounding is explanatory per se) and separatism (the view that grounding and explanation are distinct) and (2) the analogy (given separatism) between grounding/metaphysical explanation and causation causal explanation. The conference will feature both talks and comments.
