10. Modality / C. Sources of Modality / 1. Sources of Necessity

4743	The truth-maker for a truth must necessitate that truth [Armstrong]
	Full Idea: The truth-maker for a truth must necessitate that truth.
	From: David M. Armstrong (A World of States of Affairs [1997], p.115), quoted by Pascal Engel - Truth Ch.1
	A reaction: Armstrong's 'truth-make principle'. It seems to be a necessity which is neither natural nor analytic, making it metaphysically necessary. Or is it part of the definition of truth?
