The key idea of this paper is that grounds are a special kind of reasons, so their logicis part of the logic of reasons. We outline a natural deduction calculus that providesa basic formal characterization of reasons and enables us to obtain some distinctiveand relatively uncontentious principles about grounds. Then we show that the calculusoutlined is consistent and decidable, which we take to be an interesting result in itsown right.

Abstract
The key idea of this paper is that grounds are a special kind of reasons, so their logicis part of the logic of reasons. We outline a natural deduction calculus that providesa basic formal characterization of reasons and enables us to obtain some distinctiveand relatively uncontentious principles about grounds. Then we show that the calculusoutlined is consistent and decidable, which we take to be an interesting result in itsown right.
