 In line with Field’s response to the CA, Lavinia Picollo and Thomas Schindler (2020) argue that the conservativeness constraint imposed by Horsten 1995, Shapiro 1998, Ketland 1999, and others is not a reasonable requirement to impose on deflationary accounts. They contend that the insistence on conservativeness arises from making too much of the metaphor of “insubstantiality” and that it fails to see what the function of the truth predicate really amounts to. Their leading idea is that, from a deflationist’s perspective, the logico-linguistic function of the truth predicate is to simulate sentential and predicate quantification in a first-order setting (cf. Horwich 1998a, 4, n. 1). They maintain that, for a deflationist, in conjunction with first-order quantifiers, the truth predicate has the same function as sentential and predicate quantifiers. So, we should not expect the deflationist’s truth theory to conservatively extend its base theory.
