Fundamental ontology and ontology of epistemic processes

Pierre Livet

pp. 99-107

Abstract

If "made true" is not a "real" relation, what kind of relation is it? Maybe the explicitation of truth is an explicitation of the articulation between a structural relation (which builds a structure) and an explicitation relation, which does not add any new ontological structure, but is a characterization relation. Even the very epistemic process of explicitation has its ontological counterpart, its stationarity with respect to the type of the explicited process. "Making truth" needs the coherence between the structure of the state of affairs, and the structure of the epistemic process. The "tie of essence" suggested by Mulligan indicates that this coherence constraint is satisfied.
