जो लोग खुद को 'डिफ्लेशनिस्ट' कहते हैं, उनमें से कई प्रस्ताव संबंधी सत्यता (प्रोपॉज़िशनेल ट्रूथ) के मामले में तो डिफ्लेशनिस्ट होते हैं, लेकिन वाक्य संबंधी सत्यता (सेंटेंशियल ट्रूथ) के मामले में नहीं। मैं उस दृष्टिकोण का जिक्र सिर्फ इसलिए करता हूँ ताकि उसे 'डिस्क्विटेशनलिज्म' से अलग दिखाया जा सके। मुझे उस दृष्टिकोण से वास्तव में कोई आपत्ति नहीं है, सिवाय इसके कि मैं प्रस्तावों (प्रोपोज़िशन्स) में विश्वास नहीं करता, इसलिए मुझे नहीं लगता कि किसी प्रस्ताव का 'सत्य' होना जैसी कोई चीज़ होती है। मेरे विचार से, सत्य मुख्य रूप से प्रस्तुतियों का एक गुण है, जैसे कि वाक्य और कुछ खास तरह की मानसिक स्थितियाँ।

Many people who call themselves deflationists are deflationists about propositional truth but not about sentential truth. I only ever mention that view to distinguish it from disquotationalism. I don't really have any objection to it, other than that I don't believe in propositions, so I don't think there's any such thing as a proposition's being true. Truth, on my view, is primarily a property of representations, such as sentences and certain kinds of mental states.

चूंकि बाकी सभी मनुष्य किसी स्त्री से जन्म लेते हैं, इसलिए उनकी नाभि होती है, जो गर्भ में पल रहे बच्चों को माँ की आंतों से जोड़ने वाली गर्भनाल के निशानों से बनती है; लेकिन हमारे पहले माता-पिता के साथ ऐसा नहीं हो सकता था। यह कतई नहीं माना जा सकता कि ईश्वर ने उन्हें कोई ऐसी नाभि दी होगी जो पूरी तरह से बेकार होती।

यह एक पूर्वधारणा है कि व्यक्तियों और उनके कार्यों का आकलन करने के लिए हमेशा एक ही आयाम होता है जिसे सर्वोपरि प्राथमिकता प्राप्त होती है। यह नैतिक मूल्यांकन का आयाम है; "अच्छा/बुरा" को हमेशा किसी भी अन्य प्रकार के मूल्यांकन पर भारी पड़ना चाहिए, लेकिन यह एक पूर्वधारणा है, जो संभवतः यूरोप के ईसाईकरण और फिर धीरे-धीरे ईसाई-मुक्ति के लंबे इतिहास का परिणाम है, जिसे मानना आवश्यक नहीं है। मूल्यांकन का अर्थ केवल नैतिक मूल्यांकन नहीं होना चाहिए, बल्कि इसमें दक्षता, ... सरलता, स्पष्टता, सौंदर्यबोध, और इसी तरह के अन्य आकलन भी शामिल हो सकते हैं।

It is an assumption that there is always one single dimension for assessing persons and their actions that has canonical priority. This is the dimension of moral evaluation; "good/evil" is supposed always to trump any other form of evaluation, but that is an assumption, probably the result of the long history of the Christianisation and then gradual de-Christianisation of Europe, which one need not make. Evaluation need not mean moral evaluation, but might include assessments of efficiency, ... simplicity, perspicuousness, aesthetic appeal, and so on.
