Contro i fatti. Betti, A. Rivista di estetica, 49(1):55–72, 2012.
abstract   bibtex   
This paper argues that the hypothesis that there are facts is ungrounded. I first introduce a series of important theoretical distinctions to say what facts are not – and avoid misunderstandings as to what I take to be facts, states of affairs and relations. Then I present the so-called problem of the glue, which is linked to Bradley's regress. Finally, I propose a stronger version of the problem of the glue, which I call the problem of directional glue, to the aim of giving additional evidence that the problem of the glue is not solvable by the theories of facts which fall prey of it.
