Abstract: Recently, there have been a spate of ingenious grounding arguments targeting the Aristotelian view of universals – see for example Alvarado 2020, Costa 2021, Raven 2022 and Costa and Giordani 2024. My aim here is to address these arguments. Specifically, I will show that these arguments either fail (and hence don't undermine Aristotelianism) or highlight a problem for anyone who buys into a widely accepted idea about the priority of constituents. A knock-on consequence is that Aristotelianism is either off the hook or at least in the same boat as many other competing positions.
