What is the explanatory role of 'status-truths' such as essence-truths, necessity-truths and law-truths? A plausible principle, suggested by various authors, is Ground by Status, according to which status truths ground their prejacents. For instance, if it is essential to that , then this grounds the fact that . But Ground by Status faces a forceful objection: it is inconsistent with widely accepted principles regarding the logic of grounding (Glazier in Philos Stud 174(11):2871-2889, 2017a, Synthese 174(198):1409-1424, 2017b; Kappes in Synthese 199(1-2):2575-2595, 2020, Philos Stud 178(4):1267-1284, 2021). I defend Ground by Status against this objection.
本质真理、必然真理和规律真理等“状态真理”的解释作用是什么？各种作者提出的一个似是而非的原则是“基于状态的奠基”，根据这一原则，状态真理为其先行词奠基。例如，如果对 来说 是本质的，那么这就为 这一事实奠定了基础。但是“基于状态的奠基”面临一个有力的反对意见：它与关于奠基逻辑的广泛接受的原则不一致（格拉齐尔，《哲学研究》174(11):2871 - 2889, 2017a；《综合》174(198):1409 - 1424, 2017b；卡佩斯，《综合》199(1 - 2):2575 - 2595, 2020；《哲学研究》178(4):1267 - 1284, 2021）。我为“基于状态的奠基”辩护以应对这一反对意见。
