ABSTRACT
Ramsey, many of us think, is on to something about truth. What it takes for it to be true that Caesar is dead is no more than that Caesar is dead. What it takes for it to be true that Gwyneth is beautiful is no more than that Gwyneth is beautiful. What it takes for it to be true that 7 is prime is no more than that 7 is prime. And so it goes. There are stories to be told about the metaphysical commitments of our temporal talk, aesthetic talk, arithmetical talk (and we might well expect that these will be interestingly and importantly different stories). But there is no additional, overarching story to be told about the further metaphysical commitment we take on when we say that it is true that Caesar is dead, or true that Gwyneth is beautiful, or true that 7 is prime. There just is no metaphysical weight to the concept of truth.
