Description

Deflationism is a recent, but increasingly popular, theory of truth. Deflationists deny the existence of a substantive theory about truth — an account of the property truth that enables all of the facts about truth to be explained. Deflationism rejects all of the existing traditional theories about truth: correspondence, coherence, and pragmatist. Students of philosophy as well as deflationary theorists will appreciate the depth of the articles as well as the exhaustive annotated bibliography in this book.
