摘　　要：阿姆斯特朗既是还原物理主义的代表人物,又是使真者理论的主要倡导者。他的使真者理论试图把真理奠定在事实的基础上,表现出某种扩展真理论和符合真理论的倾向。但在另一方面,他通过对随附性概念给以一种特别的解释,而得出真理的可还原理论,即真理可以还原为它的本体论基础——事实,从而使其真理论带有浓厚的收缩真理论的色彩。笔者建议把使真者理论与系统本体论结合起来,使之成为一种新的扩展真理论;而且通过区分“符合使真者”和“混合使真者”,重拾一对一的符合关系,在一定程度上保留了传统的符合真理论,并对所谓“无关使真者难题”给以一揽子解决。Armstrong is not only the representative of reductive physicalism,but also the main advocate of truthmaker theory.His truemaker theory tries to lay the truth on the facts,showing some tendency to the inflationary theory of truth.But on the other hand,by giving a special explanation to the concept of supervenience,he obtains the reductive theory of truth,namely that truth can be reduced to its ontological basis,the facts,so that his truth theory has a strong color of the deflationary theory of truth.I suggest combining truthmaker theory with systematic ontology to become a new inflationary theory of truth.I distinguish between"corresponded truthmaker"and"mixed truthmaker",thereby restore the one-to-one correspondence relation,preserve the traditional correspondence theory to some extent,and solve the so-called"irrelevant truthmaker problem"in package.
