 This passage suggests that Frege embraces a deflationary view in position \(\mathbf{B}\) (in the chart above), namely, an analytic propositionalist version of deflationism. But this interpretation of his view is not so clear. As Scott Soames (1999, 21ff) points out, Frege (ibid.) distinguishes what we will call “opaque” truth ascriptions, like ‘My conjecture is true’, from transparent truth-ascriptions, like the one mentioned in the quote from Frege. Unlike with transparent cases, in opaque instances, one cannot simply strip ‘is true’ away and obtain an equivalent sentence, since the result is not even a sentence at all.
