摘要
传统符合论预设“符合关系”是一个得到清晰解释的概念,没有对之作出较为彻底的阐释。对此的反思,促使阿姆斯特朗等人尝试将符合关系建基于事态的“使真关系”之上,随之产生的“使真者理论”坚持命题凭借其实体基础为真。针对解释事实实体的“无穷倒退”“不相关使真者”等问题,阿姆斯特朗等人提出“整体主义”“最小使真者”等概念。使真者理论是分析形而上学回应真理问题的创见,它保有符合论“真理依赖于实在”的传统,着力于解释“命题以何为真”的本体论基础,对传统符合论做出了丰富和拓展。
The traditional correspondence theory of truth holds that truth is the correspondence of a proposition to a fact.However,correspondence theory does not provide a clear enough explanation of the correspondence relation.Reflecting on this,Armstrong and others attempted to base the correspondence relation on"the truth-making relation"based on states of affairs,and"the truth-maker theory"insisted that propositions have their substantive basis.However,it encountered problems such as"infinite regress"and"irrelevant truth-makers".Armstrong and others proposed the concepts of"totality states of affairs"and"minimal truth-maker"in this regard.The theory,as a creative viewpoint of analyzing metaphysics in response to the question of truth,maintains the tradition of"truth depending on the entities"in the theory of correspondence,and focuses on the ontological basis of"what is true about a proposition",which enriches and expands the traditional theory of correspondence.
