This book articulates and defends Fregean realism, a theory of
properties based on Frege's insight that properties are not
objects, but rather the satisfaction conditions of predicates.
Robert Trueman argues that this approach is the key not only to
dissolving a host of longstanding metaphysical puzzles, such as
Bradley's Regress and the Problem of Universals, but also to
understanding the relationship between states of affairs,
propositions, and the truth conditions of sentences. Fregean
realism, Trueman suggests, ultimately leads to a version of the
identity theory of truth, the theory that true propositions are
identical to obtaining states of affairs. In other words, the
identity theory collapses the gap between mind and world. This book
will be of interest to anyone working in logic, metaphysics, the
philosophy of language or the philosophy of mind.
