Notes
1 This example has the seeming implication, which I here cancel, that the assumed nature goes from existing-unassumed to existing-assumed, as the man goes from being a bachelor to being married. That is a non-analogous artifact of the case.
2 For contemporary discussions of the relation between truth and reality, see, e.g. David Armstrong's Truth and Truthmakers and Trenton Merricks's Truth and Ontology. Both include discussions concerning the range and formulation of a truthmaker principle.
