|
If truths are just identical with facts, then truths will make themselves true [David]
|
15647
|
Truth definitions don't produce a good theory, because they go beyond your current language [Halbach]
|
3. Truth / B. Truthmakers / 2. Truthmaker Relation

Examples show that truth-making is just non-symmetric, not asymmetric [David]
|
3. Truth / B. Truthmakers / 4. Truthmaker Necessitarianism

Correspondence is symmetric, while truth-making is taken to be asymmetric [David]
|
18363
