- More about A Theory of Truthmaking: Metaphysics, Ontology, and Reality
The theory of truthmaking is revived as an exercise in ontology, coordinating beliefs and ontological commitments, and connects to analyticity, truth, and realism. It addresses metaphysical debates and interests readers in metaphysics and beyond.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 310 pages
Publication date: 24 March 2022
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
The theory of truthmaking has long sparked skepticism among philosophers who view it as entangled in contentious ontological commitments and unnecessary theoretical baggage. In his book, Jamin Asay aims to dispel this suspicion by demonstrating why it is unfounded. Challenging the prevailing orthodoxy that truthmaking's primary purpose is to serve as a tool for explaining why truths are true, Asay revives the conception of truthmaking as fundamentally an exercise in ontology: a means for coordinating one's beliefs about what is true and one's ontological commitments. He further explores how truthmaking connects to analyticity, truth, and realism, and how it contributes to debates over nominalism, presentism, mathematical objects, and fictional characters. This comprehensive exploration of truthmaking is the most thorough to date, covering metaphysical debates across philosophy and appealing to a wide range of readers interested in metaphysics and beyond.
