Armstrong is not only the representative of reductive physicalism,but also the main advocate of truthmak-er theory.His truemaker theory tries to lay the truth on the facts,showing some tendency to the inflationary theory of truth.But on the other hand,by giving a special explanation to the concept of supervenience,he obtains the re-ductive theory of truth,namely that truth can be reduced to its ontological basis,the facts,so that his truth theory has a strong color of the deflationary theory of truth.I suggest combining truthmaker theory with systematic ontology to become a new inflationary theory of truth.I distinguish between"corresponded truthmaker"and"mixed truth-maker",thereby restore the one-to-one correspondence relation,preserve the traditional correspondence theory to some extent,and solve the so-called"irrelevant truthmaker problem"in package.
