许多哲学家认为，在某种意义上，扎根是有充分根据的。然而，这一论点并不总是被准确地表达出来，文献中也没有就如何描述它达成共识。在接下来的内容中，我考虑了几个人们在断言根基是有充分根据时可能会考虑到的原则，我认为其中一个原则--我称之为“完全基础”--最能抓住相关的主张。我的论点是通过淘汰的过程。对于每一个不充分的原则，我通过以下两种方式来说明其不足之处：要么它排除了不应被基础充分的公理排除的案例，要么它接纳了应该被排除的案例。
A number of philosophers think that grounding is, in some sense, well-founded. This thesis, however, is not always articulated precisely, nor is there a consensus in the literature as to how it should be characterized. In what follows, I consider several principles that one might have in mind when asserting that grounding is well-founded, and I argue that one of these principles, which I call 'full foundations', best captures the relevant claim. My argument is by the process of elimination. For each of the inadequate principles, I illustrate its inadequacy by showing either that it excludes cases that should not be ruled out by a well-foundedness axiom for grounding, or that it admits cases that should be ruled out.
