Deflationary theory of truth

In philosophy and logic, a deflationary theory of truth (also semantic deflationism[1] or simply deflationism) is one of a family of theories that all have in common the claim that assertions of predicate truth of a statement do not attribute a property called "truth" to such a statement.
