Providing an up-to-date discussion and defence of deflationism about truth, addressing recent philosophical developments in axiomatic truth theories and evaluating the notion of the innocence of truth, this volume will benefit both students and scholars of philosophy, particularly those interested in logic and in conceptions of truth.
This book analyses and defends the deflationist claim that there is nothing deep about our notion of truth. According to this view, truth is a ''light'' and innocent concept, devoid of any essence which could be revealed by scientific inquiry. Cezary Cieslinski considers this claim in light of recent formal results on axiomatic truth theories, which are crucial for understanding and evaluating the philosophical thesis of the innocence of truth. Providing an up-to-date discussion and original perspectives on this central and controversial issue, his book will be important for those with a background in logic who are interested in formal truth theories and in current philosophical debates about the deflationary conception of truth.
