Reply to comment by Migmatite_Rock in There is nothing to say about truth, admits Simon Blackburn. Here he presents the deflationist approach to truth – one that aims to put an end to the search for a theory of truth, which Blackburn now recognises is futile by IAI_Admin
Good explanation, I agree.
If you were to switch out correspondence with deflationism, OP's comment on "conflation of a claim’s between being true and being known to be true" would become more accurate. And a criticism of correspondence is the beginning of getting to deflationatism, and is the path that Blackburn takes. Though of course you could instead also reach some epistemic theory of truth.
