• The General Truthmaker View of ontological commitment Rettler, Bradley 2016 Philosophical Studies: An International Journal for Philosophy in the Analytic Tradition , Vol. 173 , Issue 5 , S. 1405 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8116 | 1573-0883 Abstract

    In this paper, I articulate and argue for a new truthmaker view of ontological commitment, which I call the "General Truthmaker View": when one affirms a sentence, one is ontologically committed to there being something (or some things) that makes (or make) true the proposition expressed by the sentence. This view comes apart from Quinean orthodoxy in that we are not ontologically committed to the things over which we quantify, and it comes apart from extant truthmaker views of ontological commitment in that we are not ontologically committed to the truthmakers of our sentences.
