Abstract

An attractive picture of the world is that some features are metaphysically fundamental and others are derivative, with the derivative features grounded in the fundamental features. But how do we have justified beliefs about which features are fundamental? What is the epistemology of fundamentality? I sketch a response in this paper. The guiding idea is that the same properties cause the same experiences. I argue that a probabilistic connection between epistemic fundamentality and metaphysical fundamentality is sufficient for justified beliefs about the metaphysically fundamental.

我们能有关于基本属性的合理信念吗?

世界的一个吸引人的画面是，一些特征在形而上学上是基本的，而另一些则是导数，导数特征植根于基本特征。但是，我们如何对哪些特征是基本的有合理的信念呢？什么是根本性的认识论？我在这篇论文中勾勒出一个回应。指导思想是，相同的属性会带来相同的体验。我认为，认识基础性和形而上学基础性之间的概率联系足以证明对形而上学基础的合理信念。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
