Abstract
This chapter begins by discussing in more detail the connections between predicates and properties, and shows that truth is heavily involved in understanding these relationships. As a consequence, behind the picture outlined in Chapter 4 are substantial commitments to views about truth. In particular, different understandings of truth are involved in the distinction between abundant and sparse properties, and, as a result, that distinction entails there being at least two different approaches to truth: a representational and a non-representational approach. This is an initial commitment to truth pluralism, and options in both the representational and non-representational approaches are developed and applied to the examples discussed in Chapter 4. The chapter closes by considering and critiquing in more detail the monist alternatives to pluralism, namely the ideas that all domains are understood on the abundant model, or all domains are understood on the sparse model.
