Some of philosophy's biggest questions, both historically and
today, are in-virtue-of questions: In virtue of what is an action
right or wrong? In virtue of what am I the same person my mother
bore? In virtue of what is an artwork beautiful? Philosophers
attempt to answer many of these types of in-virtue-of questions,
but philosophers are also increasingly focusing on what an
in-virtue-of question is in the first place. Many assume, at least
as a working hypothesis, that in-virtue-of questions involve a
distinctively metaphysical kind of determinative explanation called
"ground." This Handbook surveys the state of the art on ground as
well as its connections and applications to other topics. The
central issues of ground are discussed in 37 chapters, all written
exclusively for this volume by a wide range of leading experts. The
chapters are organized into the following sections: I. History II.
Explanation and Determination III. Logic and Structure IV.
Connections V. Applications Introductions at the start of each
section provide an overview of the section's contents, and a list
of Related Topics at the end of each chapter points readers to
other germane areas throughout the volume. The resulting volume is
accessible enough for advanced students and informative enough for
researchers. It is essential reading for anyone hoping to get
clearer on what the biggest questions of philosophy are really
asking.
