3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 2. Defining Truth

19125	If we define truth, we can eliminate it [Halbach/Leigh]
	Full Idea: If truth can be explicitly defined, it can be eliminated.
	From: Halbach,V/Leigh,G.E. (Axiomatic Theories of Truth (2013 ver) [2013], 1.3)
	A reaction: That we could just say p corresponds to the facts, or p coheres with our accepted beliefs, or p is the aim of our enquiries, and never mention the word 'true'. Definition is a strategy for reduction or elimination.
