La concezione minimalista della verità: osservazioni non minimali

This paper presents a critical analysis of the Minimal Theory of Truth, proposed by Paul Horwich at the beginning of the nineties of the last century. A reconsideration of Minimalism, thirty years later of the publication of Truth, seems justified in the light of the developments of the following debate according to the axiomatic approach to the theory of truth. In fact, it is possible to recognize within analytic philosophy a deadlock among those who claim that truth is a substantial property and those who deny this, based exclusively on formal arguments. Therefore, this paper aims to move this debate, by highlighting the difficulties of a merely logical-linguistic approach to the problem about truth and the necessity to adopt a meta-theoretical perspective, in which the structural connection with non-minimal semantic, epistemological and metaphysical questions will stand out.
