How to be an antirealist about metaphysical explanation
Ratio 36 (4):260-273 (2023)

Antirealism about metaphysical explanation is relatively underexplored. This paper maps out the territory for the antirealist, explaining what it would take to be an antirealist given various different conceptions of metaphysical explanation, and of the relationship between metaphysical explanation and grounding.Author's Profile
