The Deflationary Theory of Truth (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) The Deflationary Theory of Truth First published Thu Aug 28, 1997; substantive revision Mon Oct 4, 2010 According to the deflationary theory of truth, to assert that a statement is true is just to assert the statement itself. For example, to say that ‘snow is white’ is true, or that it is true that snow is white, is equivalent to saying simply that snow is white, and this, according to the deflationary theory, is all that can be said significantly about the truth of ‘snow is white’.
