Redundancy theory of truth

ID: redundancy-theory-of-truth

The Redundancy Theory of Truth is a philosophical position concerning the nature of truth, primarily associated with the work of philosophers such as Frank P. Ramsey and later developed by others like Paul Horwich. This theory asserts that the concept of truth is redundant and that the predicate "is true" does not add any new information to the propositions it is applied to. Instead, the theory claims that truth can be expressed by simply asserting the proposition itself.
