 How successful is this standard deflationary response? There are several critiques in the literature. Some (e.g., Damnjanovic 2005) argue that there is no distinction in the first place between appearing in a causal-explanatory generalization and being a causal-explanatory property. After all, suppose it is a true generalization that metal objects conduct electricity. That would normally be taken as sufficient to show that being metal is a causal-explanatory property that one can cite in explaining why something conducts electricity. But isn’t this a counter, then, to deflationism’s thesis that, assuming there is a property of truth at all, it is at most an insubstantial one? If a property is a causal or explanatory property, after all, it is hard to view it as insubstantial.
