10. Modality / C. Sources of Modality / 1. Sources of Necessity

15103	Blackburn fails to show that the necessary cannot be grounded in the contingent [Cameron]
	Full Idea: I conclude that Blackburn has not shown that any grounding of the necessary in the contingent (the Contingency Horn of his dilemma) is doomed to failure.
	From: Ross P. Cameron (On the Source of Necessity [2010], 2)
	A reaction: [You must read the article for details of Cameron's argument!] He goes on to also reject the Necessity Horn (that there is a regress if necessities must rely on necessities).
