Conclusion
pp. 447-474
Abstract
Review our situation: Part One developed an account of the contents which human thoughts can have. All human contents are generated from basic contents, which consist of phenomenal or causal microevents standing in certain spatio-temporal relations. And basic contents are basic in truth. They either match the world or fail to match the world, and in so doing ground the truth of contents generated from them. It is for this reason that to make sense of something contingent, to show that we can coherently conceive it, is to flesh it out in basic content, to exhibit basic contents which could ground its truth.
