Abstract

This paper explores how consideration of the notions of naturalness and eligibility, which have played an increasingly significant role in contemporary metaphysics, might impact on the study of truth. In particular, it aims to demonstrate how taking such notions seriously may be of benefit to 'representational' theories of truth by showing how the naturalness of truth on a representational account provides a response to the 'Scope Problem' presented by Lynch (2009).
