 Marshall (2015) has given the following objection to Rosen’s account. (The objection is meant to generalise to all attempts to analyse intrinsically in terms of grounding, including the attempts of Witmer, Butchard and Trogdon (2005), Trogdon (2009), Bader (2013) and Witmer (2014). For an objection that is meant to apply to Rosen’s account, but not Bader’s account, see Bader 2013:fn. 53.) According to Marshall’s objection: a) there is nothing incoherent in supposing that a state of affairs that is intrinsically about \(x\) might ground a state of affairs that is intrinsically about something that is wholly distinct from \(x\), and b) on a number of popular metaphysical theories, there are such grounding relationships. If there are such grounding relationships, however, Rosen’s account fails.
