Dodd, J. orcid.org/0000-0003-1737-7616 (2024) Unity Without Truth? Contra Trueman’s IMMODEST Identity Theory. Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. aoae008. ISSN 0066-7374
Abstract
Robert Trueman (2022) sets out and defends an ‘immodest’ identity theory of truth: that is, an identity theory in which the facts with which true propositions are identical are things whose totality is the world: i.e. obtaining states of affairs. This brief reply argues that Truman’s theory falls foul of a perennial objection to such immodest identity theories: namely, that it cannot explain how a candidate proposition’s putative elements can be unified into a proposition proper without this proposition being true.
