One captivating characteristic of the contemporary literature on the ontological status of truth and truthmaking relations is a striking polarization between metaphysical realism and its anti-realist rivals. The former espouses dehumanized ontologies seeking to establish normative constraints on truthmaking relations within a reality unsullied by subjectively or communally formed phenomenal conditions. The latter often comes up in anthropocentric ontologies diminishing the normative constraints on truthmaking while capitalizing on factors such as the mental, linguistic, and conceptual. This paper contends that neither the excessive extensionalism of metaphysical realism nor the strong subjectivism of anti-realism can provide a tenable discursive ground for the ontology of truthmaking relations. Instead, fostering a dialogue between a pluralistic account of Kantianism and the Heideggerian ontology of truth, grounded in our proposed framework of Pluralistic Alethic Realism, is capable of yielding a more compelling and nuanced perspective than the traditional alternatives.
