18859 | Metaphysics is a quest for truthmakers [Tallant] |
Full Idea: In this book I will treat metaphysics as a quest for truthmakers. | |
From: Jonathan Tallant (Metaphysics: an introduction [2011], 01) | |
A reaction: I find this appealing, though obviously you have to say what sort of truthmakers generate 'metaphysical' truths, as opposed to physics or biology. I take it that would involve truthmakers that had a high level of generality, idealisation and abstraction. |
