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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theory of truthmaking has long sparked skepticism among philosophers who view it as entangled in contentious ontological commitments and unnecessary theoretical baggage.
