Truth and Truthmakers

Description

With many adherents among contemporary philosophers, truthmaking theory is the most recent development of a realist theory of truth. D.M. Armstrong offers the first full-length study of this theory and makes a compelling case for truthmaking's importance in philosophy. His book marks a significant contribution to the debate and will be of interest to a wide range of readers working in analytical philosophy.

David Armstrong s many publications include A Materialist Theory of Mind (1968) and A World of States of Affairs (1997).

'Armstrong's systematic contribution in this book to the truth maker style of metaphysical enquiry is a very major one; we may well learn more from suggestions he makes ... covers much more ground than its length would suggest.' Journal of Philosophy
