Abstract

Many philosophers think that truthmaker theory offers a correspondence theory of truth. Despite the similarities, however, this identification cannot be correct. Truthmaker theory offers no theory of truth, nor can it be employed to offer an acceptable substantive theory of truth. Instead, truthmaker theory takes truth for granted. Though truthmaker theory is not a correspondence theory, it shares with it the same motivational basis—that truth is worldly—and accounts for what is pre-theoretically compelling about correspondence theories. As a result, those at all attracted to correspondence theory (including many deflationists) should reject it and accept truthmaker theory instead.
真相制造者反对通信
许多哲学家认为真理制造者理论提供了真理的对应理论。然而,尽管有相似之处,这种识别不可能是正确的。Truthmaker理论没有提供关于真理的理论,也不能用来提供一个可接受的关于真理的实质性理论。相反,真理制造者理论认为真理是理所当然的。虽然真理制造者理论不是对应理论,但它与对应理论有着相同的动机基础——真理是世界性的——并解释了在理论出现之前对应理论的引人注目之处。因此,那些被对应理论所吸引的人(包括许多通缩论者)应该拒绝它,转而接受真理制造者理论。
