David Armstrong proposes that the world consists entirely of contingent objects and that for every true proposition there is a truthmaker. From the contingency of all objects, Armstrong deduces the possibility of an empty world. Either the empty world is a world without truths, or there can be truths without truthmakers. If we accept a world without truth, there are problematic implications. Using the concept of an active truthmaking ingredient, I argue that if necessary truths have no truthmakers in the empty world, they have no truthmakers in the actual world. The thesis of this paper is that it makes sense to suppose that necessary truths lack truthmakers.
