Deflationism and instrumentalism

Martin Fischer

pp. 293-306

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.
