7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 5. Reason for Existence

17320	Either p is true or not-p is true, so something is true, so something exists [Liggins]
	Full Idea: Either p or not-p. If p, then the proposition 'p' is true. If not p, then the proposition 'not p' is true. Either way, something is true. Thus something exists.
	From: David Liggins (Truth-makers and dependence [2012], 10.3 n5)
	A reaction: Liggins offers this dodgy argument as an objection to conceptual truths having truth-makers.
