The Act of the Will Constitute History
There's a big debate about what someone's called big G versus small G grounding, okay. And I'm trying to be neutral on that question because I need to say like, well, what kind of relation is this out of all? What kind of ontological dependence relation is this? And what are the best non theological models to understand it by? So I'm thinking think about the statue in clay case. It's not numerically identical with the clay in the sense that would be required by Leibniz's law. Because if you smash it, the clay will still exist and the statue won't. But yet somehow the statue is nothing over and above the clay. Yeah.
