Abstract

Jonathan Tallant (2009) argues against the view that ‘truth requires ground’ by trying to show that some theories which violate this principle are theoretically more virtuous than competitors respecting it, which gives us a good reason to reject the principle. I argue that Tallant’s argument is unsuccessful.
