Abstract
This thesis concerns truthmaker semantics, introduced by Stephen Yablo in his book Aboutness and by Kit Fine in a series of papers. In large part, what I have accomplished here is filling in gaps. I not only fill in gaps between truthmaker semantics and related theories, I also fill in gaps within truthmaker semantics itself. The literature makes many assumptions but makes only a few explicit, leaving the reader to provide their own account of things like facts, of explanation and even, to some degree, of truthmaking itself. Aside from this, I attempt a contribution of my own. In particular, I present arguments for an account of truthmaker semantics on which truthmakers must be consistent in a precise sense.
