Truthmaking without necessitation.
I propose an account truthmaking that provides truthmakers for negative truths. The account replaces Truthmaker Necessitarianism with a 'Duplication Principle', according to which a suitable entity T is a truthmaker for a proposition p just in case the existence of an appropriate counterpart of T en...
