3. Truth / H. Deflationary Truth / 1. Redundant Truth

11074	'It is true that this follows' means simply: this follows [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: The proposition: "It is true that this follows from that" means simply: this follows from that.
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics [1938], p.38), quoted by Robert Hanna - Rationality and Logic 6
	A reaction: Presumably this remark is simply expressing Wittgenstein's later agreement with the well-known view of Ramsey. Early Wittgenstein had endorsed a correspondence view of truth.
