True and False—As If

Abstract

Abstract This chapter advances a version of ‘deflated dialetheism’, a dialetheic truth theory motivated by a ‘deflationary’ conception of truth. In short: truth is an expressive device that we have constructed for practical purposes; it is also an inconsistent device (some sentences are true and not), but such inconsistency does not get in the way of the job ‘true’ was brought in to do. After presenting the target view, objections are addressed.
