Deflationary Theories of Truth
Quick fact
According to deflationary theories, the sentence 'Snow is white is true' asserts nothing more than 'Snow is white'—the word 'true' is a logical device, not a description of a property.
Why this is interesting
We use the word 'true' constantly, yet what if it doesn't name a real property at all? What if saying 'that's true' is just a fancy way of agreeing?
