On Ground and Consequence

Benjamin Schnieder (Hamburg) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (15 November, 2012) titled "On Ground and Consequence". Abstract: The notion of grounding has proven to be a fruitful tool for philosophical analysis. While traditionally, many explications of core philosophical notions proceeded in purely modal terms, explications in terms of grounding often yield more adequate results. In my talk I will explore a new application of grounding and develop a notion of logical consequence in terms of grounding.
