摘要

Abstract

A combinatorial analysis of intrinsicality takes intrinsic properties to be independent of accompaniment: a property is intrinsic only if it is possible for a lonely or an accompanied thing to have it or lack it (I). Cameron argues that the combinatorial analysis in Langton & Lewis (1998) faces an epistemic circularity

which makes (I) suspicious. In this paper

I examine two approaches to free the combinatorial analyses from the circularity and find them all fail. Then I provide an outline of an argument for (I) by appealing to the grounding analyses of intrinsicality

which shows an advantage of the grounding analyses over the combinatorial ones.
