Jamin Asay

I am a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Purdue University. My research falls mainly into the areas of Metaphysics, Philosophy of Language, and Philosophy of Science. I also have interests in Epistemology, History of Modern Philosophy, Metaethics, and Philosophy of Logic.

Much of my research focuses on truth; my book The Primitivist Theory of Truth defends the view that truth is an undefinable primitive concept. My second book A Theory of Truthmaking defends the role of truthmaking arguments in philosophy, as does my third book Truthmaking. I have also published on the topics of deflationary truth, moral realism, scientific realism, Tarski, modality, theories of ontological commitment, presentism, and the liar paradox.
