Reply to comment by JohannesdeStrepitu 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

That all sounds great to me. And I think

>responding to the objective moral features of the world, just in a way that involves a fundamentally perspectival access to those objective truths and a need to arrive at that truth by learning from the perspectives of others (including perspectives that no one in one's community has yet reached).

is obviously much better than "tapping into something". I do not have the best words. And admittedly I'm not well read on Blackburn OR Brandom, but I cannot help myself maundering. Thank you for humoring me!

edit- I have no clue where I got Brandom, it's very possible I was reading SEP and listening to the video at the same time, apologies.

Glad I could clear things up :) Brandom's someone I've spent a lot of time reading and talking with others about in my studies, so I'm always happy to talk about him more.
