7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 1. Grounding / a. Nature of grounding

23008	Grounding is intended as a relation that fits dependences between things [Baron/Miller]
	Full Idea: Grounding is a posit introduced by metaphysicians in an attempt to devise a relation that can accommodate dependence between things in the world.
	From: Baron,S/Miller,K (Intro to the Philosophy of Time [2019], 5.6)
	A reaction: Grounding is a recent concept which seems to have lots of enemies, but I assume you can only reject it if you reject the concept of dependence - yet that seems a fairly obvious fact to me. My favoured metaphysical relation is 'determination'.
