Truth depends in some sense on reality, but it is difficult to spell out this intuition in a plausible and precise way. According to the theory of truth-making the intuition implies that either every truth or every truth of a certain class of truths has a so-called truth-maker, an entity whose existence accounts for truth. This book provides several ways of assessing the correctness of this controversial claim. It presents a detailed introduction to the theory of truth-making, which outlines truth-maker relations, the ontological category of truth-making entities, and the scope of a truth-maker theory. The essays include the most important articles on truth-making in the last three decades as well as new work by leading researchers in the field of the theory of truth and of truth-making.
Contributors include Kevin Mulligan, Peter Simons, Barry Smith, Greg Restall, David Lewis, David Armstrong, Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra, Josh Parsons, Herbert Hochberg, Marian David, and Paul Horwich.

Store description
The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT. …
