Terminology is catching on!
I just saw that Deontologistics is now using the the term deflationary in reference to Graham Harman’s realism. There is a slight difference as he as attached it specifically to the question of realism. Anyway… as usual it is a good post on Harman’s philosophy.

I did very much enjoy your paper at Dundee, but I’m afraid my use of ‘deflationary’ is quite different to yours. Nonetheless, the paper does deal with the relationship between thought and Being, or the relationship between the structure of thought and the structure of the world. The more in depth essay I’ve just posted also deals with Harman and Meillassoux in relation to this, in a way I think you’ll find interesting.
