As the title suggests, this paper aims at surveying some recent advances in the theory of formal truth. It contains an account of the debate concerning the de?ationist approach to truth, according to which truth is a ‘thin’ notion in that it should involve no assumption of whatsoever nature. We review here the main issues that were comprised by the discussion accompanying the attempts of translating this idea into logical terms. In the second half of the paper, we focus on a recent theory of truth proposed by Hartry Field, a former ‘champion’ of the de?ationary approach. We then discuss it both with respect to the previous conceptual account, and to some further observation concerning the truth–as–revision machinery that this theory can be proved to implicitly make use of.
