真理制造者在大卫·阿姆斯特朗的形而上学中扮演着核心角色。它们是与真理讲述者和真理传播者关系密切的事物。在本文中，我想重点讨论这种关系。更具体地说，我想看一下阿姆斯特朗关于真理建构的论文，这对他来说似乎特别重要，即真理建构是一种内部关系的论文。我将探讨这篇论文应该为阿姆斯特朗做什么工作，特别是他的“本体论免费午餐”学说，提出问题并指出其中的困难。最后，我将试图表明，阿姆斯特朗偏爱的真相传播者给他的论点“真相制造是内部的”带来了严重的问题。
Truthmakers have come to play a central role in David Armstrong’s metaphysics. They are things that stand in the relation of truthmaking to truthbearers. In this paper, I want to focus on the relation. More specifically, I want to take a look at a thesis Armstrong holds about truthmaking that seems to be of special importance to him, namely the thesis that truthmaking is an internal relation. I will explore what work this thesis is supposed to do for Armstrong, especially for his doctrine of the ‘ontological free lunch’, raising questions and pointing out difficulties along the way. Finally, I will try to show that Armstrong’s preferred truthbearers generate a serious problem for his thesis that truthmaking is internal.
