Abstract

Iterated reflection principles have been employed extensively to unfold epistemic commitments that are incurred by accepting a mathematical theory. Recently this has been applied to theories of truth. The idea is to start with a collection of Tarskibiconditionals and arrive by iterated reflection at strong compositional truth theories. In the context of classical logic, it is incoherent to adopt an initial truth theory in which A and 'A is true' are inter-derivable. In this article, we show how in the context of a weaker logic, which we call Basic De Morgan Logic, we can coherently start with such a fully disquotational truth theory and arrive at a strong compositional truth theory by applying a natural uniform reflection principle a finite number of times.
