Deflationism and instrumentalism
pp. 293-306
Abstract
Deflationist theories of truth have become increasingly popular. In this paper we are going to pursue an instrumentalist reading of deflationism. This reading is particularly interesting considering the role a truth predicate can have in facilitating proofs. Based on an instrumentalist conception we will provide a new answer to one of the arguments challenging deflationism.
