Abstract: Fundamental metaphysics is the branch of metaphysics concerned with fundamental reality. I propose that fundamental metaphysics should aim, at least in part, to summarize the fundamental truths and to determine, for each nonfundamental truth, what is relevant to its explanation in the fundamental truths. I develop an account of the notion of grounding-explanatory relevance to which this proposal appeals.
