17.Also see Bradley Armour-Garb and JC Beall’s discussion on how deflationists treat (T) in their 2005b, pp. 1–11. It is noted that Beall recently develops a distinct version of disquotationalist deflationism, i.e., what he calls ‘transperent disquotationalism’ (Beall, 2005, pp. 7–22), which takes dtruth, instead of (T), to be fundamental. The so-called ‘dtruth’ means the device ‘true’ introduced in our language ‘via rules of intersubstitution that, [for any (declarative) sentence A,] dT and A are intersubstitutable in all (transparent) contexts’ (p. 7); the device is ‘transparent: to <A> “reveal” [generalization] claims that—given our finite situation—we couldn’t otherwise express’ (p. 15). This version of deflationism does not directly formulating rules of intersubstitution in terms of (M)-like equivalence and so appears to avoid directly conflating (T) and (M); nevertheless, it is arguably correct that transparent disquotationalism eventually would still resort to such a conflation to make its case: on the one hand, to justify or make sense of the aforementioned rules of intersubstitution, it has to resort to (M); on the other hand, to claim the connection between rule of intersubstitution and what is ‘central to our concept of truth’ (Armour-Garb and Beall, 2005b, p. 2), it has to resort to (T).
