Deflationary Truth: Open Court Readings in Philosophy
Summary
Deflationism rejects all the traditional theories of truth -- the correspondence theory (truth is correspondence with facts); the coherence theory (truth is membership in a coherent set of beliefs); the pragmatism theory (truth is what is useful to believe); and the verificationist theory (truth is provability or verifiability). Still, there is disagreement among deflationists about how to proceed in the analysis of truth, and their varied views can be found in this substantial anthology.
