Overview

Truth depends in some sense on reality, but it is difficult to spell out this intuition in a plausible and precise way. According to the theory of truth-making the intuition implies that either every truth or every truth of a certain class of truths has a so-called truth-maker, an entity whose existence accounts for truth. This book provides several ways of assessing the correctness of this controversial claim. It presents a detailed introduction to the theory of truth-making, which outlines truth-maker relations, the ontological category of truth-making entities, and the scope of a truth-maker theory. The essays include the most important articles on truth-making in the last three decades as well as new work by leading researchers in the field of the theory of truth and of truth-making.

Contributors include Kevin Mulligan, Peter Simons, Barry Smith, Greg Restall, David Lewis, David Armstrong, Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra, Josh Parsons, Herbert Hochberg, Marian David, and Paul Horwich.
