✦ Synopsis

Mark Jago offers a new metaphysical account of truth. He argues that to be true is to be made true by the existence of a suitable worldly entity. Truth arises as a relation between a proposition - the content of our sayings, thoughts, beliefs, and so on - and an entity (or entities) in the world.--;Truth and making true -- Truthmakers -- The truthmaking relation -- Propositions and paradoxes.
