minimalist theory of truth
The minimalist theory of truth suggests that saying something is true is simply a way of affirming it without adding extra meaning. For example, if we say "It’s true that snow is white," we’re essentially just stating "Snow is white." The theory emphasizes that truth doesn't require a deep or complex explanation; it’s about the relationship between statements and reality. Essentially, if a statement accurately describes the world, we consider it true, and saying it’s true is just a straightforward endorsement of that statement. Truth is, therefore, straightforward and tied directly to the facts.
