It is sometimes claimed that there could not, in principle, be an explanation for why there is something rather than nothing, as any factor introduced in the explanation would itself be one of the things needing to be explained. In this chapter, I will argue that this idea is mistaken, and I will proceed to offer a speculative suggestion regarding the form that explanations of the relevant sort might take. The idea is that the fact that there is something rather than nothing may be explained by the obtaining of certain sorts of subjunctive conditionals, i.e., conditionals of the form “If A were the case then B would be the case.” Such subjunctive conditionals need not be grounded in any existing things, which is what makes them suitable candidates to serve in explanations for why there is something rather than nothing.
