Abstract: As concerns the explication of the intuitive notion of truthmaking, Barry Smith has an insight that deserves more attention. Basically, in his view, an object x makes a proposition? <p> true iff (i) x necessitates? and (ii)? <p> is representationally closely tied with x. To be more specific, he suggests that (ii) is fulfilled only if x is among? <p>’s ontological commitments. I appreciate his basic insight but reject his specific suggestion. I argue that we can make a more attractive proposal from his basic insight if we take into consideration that the close tie can also be realized by? <p>’s being about x.
