Change,Difference, and Orthodox Truthmaker Theory
Authors:Timothy Pawl
Institution:The University of St. Thomas (Minnesota)
Abstract:Call the thesis that, possibly, there are two times, t1 and t2, such that everything that exists at t2 also exists at t1, but some things that exist at t1 do not exist at t2 Temporal Change. Call the thesis that, possibly, there are two worlds, w and v, such that everything that exists at v also exists at w, but some things that exist at w do not exist at v Modal Difference. I argue that if either Temporal Change or Modal Difference is true, then Orthodox Truthmaker Theory—the theory that every truth requires a necessitating truthmaker—is false.
Keywords:truthmaker maximalism  truthmaker necessitation  modality  negative existentials
