The essays collected in this volume concern the general question of
truthmaking. Most of them also bear upon the metaphysical nature of
truthmakers (moments, tropes, property-instances, Aristotelian
substances, states of affairs, meanings or essences? ). Taking as
their starting point a famous seminal paper by K. Mulligan, P.
Simons and B. Smith, as well as D. Armstrong s outstanding
contribution to the subject, they offer a fresh assay of the main
concepts involved, in order to assess the explanatory value of
truthmakers and truthmaker necessitarianism, and explore such
delicate issues as contingent truth, bare possibility, tensed
propositions, the ontological irreducibility of relations, the
subsistence of facts and the epistemic role of negative truths. The
collection as a whole provides a comprehensive and
thought-provoking survey of the current debate about truthmaking
theory and deserves to be read carefully by anyone interested in
the relationship between language, thought and reality. With
contributions from David ARMSTRONG, Stefano CAPUTO, Francois
CLEMENTZ, Pascal ENGEL, Herbert HOCHBERG, Philipp KELLER, Jonathan
LOWE, Jean-Maurice MONNOYER, Kevin MULLIGAN, Stephen MUMFORD,
Frederic NEF, Peter SIMONS, Barry SMITH, Jonathan SIMON"
