Abstract

Abstract In this article, I seek to assess the extent to which Theism, the claim that there is a God, can provide a true fundamental explanation for the instantiation of the grounding relation that connects the various entities within the layered structure of reality. More precisely, I seek to utilise the explanatory framework of Richard Swinburne within a specific metaphysical context, a ground-theoretic context, which will enable me to develop a true fundamental explanation for the existence of grounding. And thus, given the truth of this type of explanation, we will have a further reason to believe in the existence of God.

根基与上帝的存在
在这篇文章中,我试图评估有神论在多大程度上可以为在现实的分层结构中连接各种实体的基础关系的实例化提供真正的基本解释。有神论声称有一个上帝。更准确地说,我试图在一个特定的形而上学语境中利用理查德·斯威本的解释框架,一个基于理论的语境,这将使我能够为基于的存在发展出一个真正的基本解释。因此,鉴于这种解释的真实性,我们将有进一步的理由相信上帝的存在。
