Deflationary theory of truth

ID: deflationary-theory-of-truth

The Deflationary Theory of Truth is a philosophical perspective that downplays the significance of the concept of truth. Rather than viewing truth as a substantial property that sentences possess, deflationists argue that the notion of truth can be expressed in a simplified or trivial way. One of the key ideas behind deflationary theories is that asserting that a statement is true does not provide any additional information beyond the statement itself.
