"T-Sentences"
Philosophical discussions of truth often focus upon so-called T-sentences,
sentences of the form:
'Snow is white" is true iff snow is white,
which intuitively, have some sort of special status. I propose here to
examine this status, as a way of evaluating and criticizing deflationary
theories of truth. In my view, T-sentences do not have the sort of
special status deflationists have accorded them.
