{"product_id":"9783110326581","title":"Metaphysics and Truthmakers (Philosophische Analyse \/ Philosophical Analysis)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \n \nWith contributions from David ARMSTRONG, Stefano CAPUTO, François CLEMENTZ, Pascal ENGEL, Herbert HOCHBERG, Philipp KELLER, Jonathan LOWE, Jean-Maurice MONNOYER, Kevin MULLIGAN, Stephen MUMFORD, Frederic NEF, Peter SIMONS, Barry SMITH, Jonathan SIMON\u003c\/p\u003e Jean-Maurice MONNOYER : Vingt ans après Kevin MULLIGAN, Peter SIMONS, Barry SMITH : Truth-Makers (1984)\u003cbr\u003eKevin MULLIGAN : Two Dogmas of Truthmaking\u003cbr\u003ePeter SIMONS : Truth in virtue of Meaning\u003cbr\u003eBarry SMITH, Jonathan SIMON : Truthmaker Explanations\u003cbr\u003eDavid ARMSTRONG : Truthmakers for Negative Truths and for truths of mere possibility\u003cbr\u003ePhilipp KELLER : A World of Truthmakers\u003cbr\u003eDavid ARMSTRONG : Reply to Keller\u003cbr\u003eFrançois CLEMENTZ : Relational Truthmakers\u003cbr\u003eHerbert HOCHBERG : Is True and Makes true, Two predicates without properties\u003cbr\u003eFrederic NEF : Senex erit puer.
