From time to time, protests were voiced that the concept of truth is "richer" than what minimalist and redundancy theories could deliver. These dissenters insisted that truth is a substantial concept; those theories fail to do it justice. As we have seen, there are grounds for complaint. Nevertheless, the protests were largely ineffectual. The reason they did not prevail, I suggest, was because the dissenters were not radical enough; they too were operating within the confines of the linguistic conception, which does not have enough resources to supply a truly substantial theory of truth. So, if a substantial conception of truth is to be worked out, it will have to break out of that restriction.
