Abstract

The TRUTHMAKER principle – which looks to be based upon a seemingly plausible intuition – faces a number of troubles, including that of NEGATIVE TRUTHS. According to the TRUTHMAKER principle, true propositions are true in virtue of what exists. But, intuitively, NEGATIVE TRUTHS are true in virtue of what does not exist. Adding negative facts to one’s ontology isa metaphysical cost that has been paid to solve the problem of NEGATIVE TRUTHS. In this paper, I firstly mention some preliminary issues about the TRUTHMAKER principle. After enumerating possible solutions to NEGATIVE TRUTHS, I will deal with the solution which appeals to negative facts. Then I will argue that which kind of negative facts does better its jobs. In the rest of the paper, I will disallow some propounded difficulties with this solution. Afterwards, I will illustrate that negative facts face three new problems.
