Preface to the 2008 paperback edition -- Truthmakers, facts and states of affairs: a critiqueof correspondence -- Propositions, indirect speech and truthbearers -- Nature of propositions: thoughts versus states of affairs -- Facts are true thoughts -- From correspondence to identity -- Variety of deflationism defended -- Aberrations of rival identity theories.

This book argues that correspondence theories of truth fail because the relation which holds between a true thought and a fact is that of identity, not correspondence. According to Julian Dodd,facts are not complexes of worldly entities; they are, as Frege believed, true thoughts. The supposed truthmaker is nothing but the truthbearer. The author christens this response to correspondence theories the modest identity theory, which he goes on to distinguish from those identity theories propounded, at some time or other, by Russell, Moore, Bradley, John McDowell and Jennifer Hornsby. It isacknowledged that the modest identity theory provides neither a definition of truth nor an accountofwhat truthconsists in. The modest identity theory's role is, by contrast, that of diagnosing thefailure of correspondence theories, and thereby preparing the ground for a proper deflation of the concept of truth: a deflation defended in the latter part of the book.
