 Hornsby argues instead that there is explanatory asymmetry between its being the case that p and the proposition that p is true, because the latter requires more to be the case than the former, (e.g.) that there are propositions (Hornsby 2005: 44). Dodd suggests a cognate alternative: that the felt asymmetry of truth upon being arises from the fact that the identity of the proposition that p is partially determined by the worldly items it’s about, so we can’t understand what is required for the proposition that p to be true without already having an understanding of what it is for p to be the case (Dodd 2007: 398–400).
