7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 3. Being / a. Nature of Being

14401	Every proposition is entirely about being [Lewis]
	Full Idea: Every proposition, no matter what subject matter it may have, is entirely about being.
	From: David Lewis (Things qua Truthmakers [2003], p.26), quoted by Trenton Merricks - Truth and Ontology 4.VI
	A reaction: Since Lewis's propositions are sets of possible worlds, I presume this claim is made because proposition relates to all of the possible worlds, which therefore presumably embody Being.
