Abstract

In a series of recent publications, Jeffrey King argues for a view on which propositions are facts. He also argues against views on which propositions are set-theoretical objects, in part because such views face Benacerraf problems. In this paper, we argue that, when it comes to Benacerraf problems, King's view doesn't fare any better than its set-theoretical rivals do and that this threatens to undercut his explanation of why propositions have truth-conditions.
