Ted Sider suggests that the notion of grounding has an awkward dilemma at its foundation although the notion of grounding is an intellectual success (Sider 2, 2020). In my master’s thesis, I expound the dilemma of grounding and three viable solutions: the Aboutness Solution, the Bennettian Solution, and the Infinite Regress Solution. I argue that the Aboutness Solution is the best solution for the dilemma for the friends of grounding.Type
