We give a negative answer to the question of whether our conviction about the truth of the Gödel sentence G involves a theory of truth beyond the deflationary theories. After discussing and dismissing Neil Tennant’s deflationary account of incompleteness, we show how a new deflationary construal of the incompletability of formal systems can be framed in the setting of Peano Arithmetic augmented to include a constructive version of the ω-rule based on Herbrand’s notion of prototype proof.

Abstract

We give a negative answer to the question of whether our conviction about the truth of the Gödel sentence G involves a theory of truth beyond the deflationary theories. After discussing and dismissing Neil Tennant’s deflationary account of incompleteness, we show how a new deflationary construal of the incompletability of formal systems can be framed in the setting of Peano Arithmetic augmented to include a constructive version of the ω-rule based on Herbrand’s notion of prototype proof.
