摘要
阿姆斯特朗既是还原物理主义的代表人物,又是使真者理论的主要倡导者.他的使真者理论试图把真理奠定在事实的基础上,表现出某种扩展真理论和符合真理论的倾向.但在另一方面,他通过对随附性概念给以一种特别的解释,而得出真理的可还原理论,即真理可以还原为它的本体论基础——事实,从而使其真理论带有浓厚的收缩真理论的色彩.笔者建议把使真者理论与系统本体论结合起来,使之成为一种新的扩展真理论;而且通过区分"符合使真者"和"混合使真者",重拾一对一的符合关系,在一定程度上保留了传统的符合真理论,并对所谓"无关使真者难题"给以一揽子解决.
Abstract
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.
