No Guide to Ground: Right‐Making and Right‐Makers

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is often taken for granted that right‐makers, that is, the things that make something—say, an action—right, do so by explaining why it is right. This view can be spelled out in terms of metaphysical ground: right‐making just is grounding of rightness facts.
