This Element shows there is a long lineage of philosophers concerned with coming to understand what explains everything broadly construed or within a certain domain. The authors call such explanations ultimate explanations. Contemporarily, philosophers of a certain stripe have devoted much attention to the notion of fundamentality - that there is something that is without explanation. In this Element, the author explores some of the connections between fundamentality and ultimate explanations.
