Title: Sam Baron
Still Cheating, Not Quite Prospering
It is a common view that propositions depend for their truth upon what
exists. In an intriguing series of papers, Jonathan Tallant defends a view
that he calls no grounds cheating (NGC). Roughly, the idea behind NGC is
that, in some cases, one can accept that certain propositions are true even
though there is nothing in the world that ‘makes’ them true. Tallant
provides two reasons to cheat (i) cheating leads toward a more
ontologically parsimonious metaphysics and (ii) cheating allows us to
preserve two commonsense intuitions: absences do not exist and the past
does not exist. Kramer has already argued against (i). I argue against (ii).
