Truthmaking in a Realist Fashion
https://doi.org/10.1007/s44204-022-00010-w
February 2022
This paper, focuses on discussion of realism in chapter 8 of Jamin Asay's book, A Theory of Truthmaking, where he aims to define “realism” in terms of truthmaking and proposed three conditions to satisfy for an account to be realist. Asay's third condition, “to maintain that those truths are true in virtue of that ontology in a relevant fashion”, is mainly invoked to properly characterise quasirealism as anti- realist. This condition itself is hard to understand. This paper explores three possible interpretations of the condition.
