Truth in the Investigations.
According to a widespread interpretation, in the Investigations Wittgenstein adopted a deflationary or redundancy theory of truth. On this view, Wittgenstein's pronouncements about truth should be understood in the light of his invocation of the equivalences 'p' is true = p and 'p' is false = not p....

On this view, Wittgenstein's pronouncements about truth should be understood in the light of his invocation of the equivalences 'p' is true = p and 'p' is false = not p. This paper shows that this interpretation does not do justice to Wittgenstein's thoughts. I will be claiming that, in fact, in his second book Wittgenstein is returning to the pre-Tractarian notion of bipolarity, and that his new development of this notion in the Investigations excludes the redundancy-deflationary reading. Wittgenstein's thoughts about truth are instead compatible with another interpretative option: Wittgenstein remains faithful to his methodological pronouncements, and he merely presents us with (grammatical) platitudes about the notions of "true" and "false". pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Synthese is a copyright of Springer, 2019.
