Truths are determined not by what we believe, but by the way the
world is. Or so realists about truth believe. Philosophers call
such theories correspondence theories of truth. Truthmaking theory,
which now has many adherents among contemporary philosophers, is a
recent development of a realist theory of truth, and in this book,
first published in 2004, D. M. Armstrong offers the first
full-length study of this theory. He examines its applications to
different sorts of truth, including contingent truths, modal
truths, truths about the past and the future, and mathematical
truths. In a clear, even-handed and non-technical discussion he
makes a compelling case for truthmaking and its importance in
philosophy. His book marks a significant contribution to the debate
and will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in
analytical philosophy.
