Robert Trueman argues that this approach is the key not only to dissolving a host of longstanding metaphysical puzzles, such as Bradley's Regress and the Problem of Universals, but also to understanding the relationship between states of affairs, propositions, and the truth conditions of sentences. Fregean realism, Trueman suggests, ultimately leads to a version of the identity theory of truth, the theory that true propositions are identical to obtaining states of affairs. In other words, the identity theory collapses the gap between mind and world. This book will be of interest to anyone working in logic, metaphysics, the philosophy of language or the philosophy of mind. 650 0 $a Predicate (Logic) 650 0 $a Proposition (Logic) 650 0 $a Tropes (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Metaphysics. 650 7 $a Metaphysics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018304 650 7 $a Predicate (Logic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075020 650 7 $a Proposition (Logic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079268 650 7 $a Tropes (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01157408 776 08 $i Online version: $a Trueman, Robert. $t Properties and propositions $d [New York, New York] : Cambridge University Press, [2021] $z 9781108886123 $w (DLC) 2020054787 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2280BE0CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
