Abstract: Taking disquotation to be the essence of truth, this chapter argues that truth is that unique property of a proposition from which one can deduce the fact stated by it. This position is called ‘thick disquotationalism’, for though disquotational in nature, truth is nevertheless a robust property. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of the metaphysics of truth: truth is a primitive, non-natural property that supervenes on the facts and is constitutive of reality.
