Description
Truthmaking: A Metaphysical Exploration
This Element delves into the metaphysical concept that what is true depends upon what exists. Truthmaker theorists debate the nature of the truthmaking relation, which truths require truthmakers, and what those truthmakers are.
The book explores key metaphysical topics and debates, including the existence of entities from the past and merely possible states of affairs, as well as how to think about truthmakers for social constructions.
