Inflationism/Horwich: Inflationism requires attributing additional properties to truth "X is true iff. X has the property P." This is supposed to allow us to specify what truth is (e.g. utility). >Pragmatism.
I XIV
Deflationism/Quine/Leeds/Horwich: (deflationary) truth allows generalizations of a certain kind for which you'd otherwise need infinite conjunctions. Quine: truth serves the purpose of generalization. Horwich: e.g. generalization: for each object x if x = what Einstein said, then x is true.
>Deflationism, >Generalization.},
