In January 2018, Mark Jago began a Mind Association Research Fellowship, on his project "Developing Truthmaker Semantics".
Truthmaker Semantics is a new philosophical approach to questions about meaning. It promises to be highly significant in areas of philosophy that use logical techniques, particularly metaphysics and philosophy of language. At present, the approach is in its infancy, and requires a good deal of mathematical development.
This project will use abstract mathematical techniques, combined with philosophical theorising, to develop Truthmaker Semantics. The approach will allow to prove a number of technical results, which together will clarify how Truthmaker Semantics works. This involves going far beyond currently existing work.
