Abstract:
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 a that p, then this grounds the fact that p. 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.
