The argument aims to establish this by showing that they have different modal properties: anchoring is a \u201cuniversal tool\u201d \u2013 it \u201cexports\u201d, in Schaffer\u2019s (2019) terminology \u2013 whereas grounding does not, as it is \u201cworld-bound\u201d. Because of this, they turn out to relate different entities, and so must be different relations. In this talk, I provide a novel diagnosis of where the argument goes wrong. Contrary to extant responses in the literature (Guala 2016b, Hawley 2019, Mikkola 2019, Pagano forthcoming, and Schaffer 2019), I argue that anchoring can be a form of grounding even if we grant all of Epstein\u2019s key (if controversial) insights. Moreover, I show that Epstein\u2019s reasoning has stronger dialectical force against the related but distinct view that social facts are grounded in rules. Even in this respect, however, I argue that there are good reasons to resist this negative conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bio<\/em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/ifs.csic.es\/es\/personal\/samuele-chilovi\">Samuele Chilovi<\/a> is Ram\u00f3n y Cajal research fellow at the Institute of Philosophy of CSIC.
