Truth -- Meaning -- Reality presents a broad and unified deflationism that encompasses language, thought, knowledge, and reality. Horwich's story begins with his minimalist view of truth -- paving the way to an account of meaning as use. The fourteen essays constitute a coherent and complete expression of thisthree-pronged philosophy.
