3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 1. Tarski's Truth / a. Tarski's truth definition
|
15339
|
Tarski gave up on the essence of truth, and asked how truth is used, or how it functions [Tarski, by Horsten]
|
|
16302
|
Tarski did not just aim at a definition; he also offered an adequacy criterion for any truth definition [Tarski, by Halbach]
|
|
19135
|
Tarski enumerates cases of truth, so it can't be applied to new words or languages [Davidson on Tarski]
|
|
19138
|
Tarski define truths by giving the extension of the predicate, rather than the meaning [Davidson on Tarski]
|
|
4699
|
Tarski made truth relative, by only defining truth within some given artificial language [Tarski, by O'Grady]
|
|
19324
|
Tarski has to avoid stating how truths relate to states of affairs [Kirkham on Tarski]
|
|

|
Tarskian semantics says that a sentence is true iff it is satisfied by every sequence [Tarski, by Hossack]
|
|
13338
|
'"It is snowing" is true if and only if it is snowing' is a partial definition of the concept of truth [Tarski]
|
|
19180
|
It is convenient to attach 'true' to sentences, and hence the language must be specified [Tarski]
|
|
19181
|
In the classical concept of truth, 'snow is white' is true if snow is white [Tarski]
|
|
19196
|
Scheme (T) is not a definition of truth [Tarski]
|
|
19183
|
Each interpreted T-sentence is a partial definition of truth; the whole definition is their conjunction [Tarski]
|
|
19182
|
Use 'true' so that all T-sentences can be asserted, and the definition will then be 'adequate' [Tarski]
|
|
19198
|
We don't give conditions for asserting 'snow is white'; just that assertion implies 'snow is white' is true [Tarski]
|
3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 1. Tarski's Truth / b. Satisfaction and truth
|
15410
|
Truth only applies to closed formulas, but we need satisfaction of open formulas to define it [Burgess on Tarski]
|
|
18811
|
Tarski uses sentential functions; truly assigning the objects to variables is what satisfies them [Tarski, by Rumfitt]
|
|
15365
|
We can define the truth predicate using 'true of' (satisfaction) for variables and some objects [Tarski, by Horsten]
|
|
19314
|
For physicalism, reduce truth to satisfaction, then define satisfaction as physical-plus-logic [Tarski, by Kirkham]
|
|
19316
|
Insight: don't use truth, use a property which can be compositional in complex quantified sentence [Tarski, by Kirkham]
|
|
19175
|
Tarski gave axioms for satisfaction, then derived its explicit definition, which led to defining truth [Tarski, by Davidson]
|
|
19184
|
The best truth definition involves other semantic notions, like satisfaction (relating terms and objects) [Tarski]
|
|
19191
|
Specify satisfaction for simple sentences, then compounds; true sentences are satisfied by all objects [Tarski]
|
3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 1. Tarski's Truth / c. Meta-language for truth
|
19188
|
We can't use a semantically closed language, or ditch our logic, so a meta-language is needed [Tarski]
|
|
19189
|
The metalanguage must contain the object language, logic, and defined semantics [Tarski]
|
3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 2. Semantic Truth
|
19134
|
Tarski defined truth for particular languages, but didn't define it across languages [Davidson on Tarski]
|
|
16304
|
Tarski didn't capture the notion of an adequate truth definition, as Convention T won't prove non-contradiction [Halbach on Tarski]
|
|
2571
|
Tarski says that his semantic theory of truth is completely neutral about all metaphysics [Tarski, by Haack]
|
|
10821
|
Physicalists should explain reference nonsemantically, rather than getting rid of it [Tarski, by Field,H]
|
|
10822
|
A physicalist account must add primitive reference to Tarski's theory [Field,H on Tarski]
|
|
10824
|
If listing equivalences is a reduction of truth, witchcraft is just a list of witch-victim pairs [Field,H on Tarski]
|
|
16303
|
Tarski made truth respectable, by proving that it could be defined [Tarski, by Halbach]
|
|
10969
|
Tarski had a theory of truth, and a theory of theories of truth [Tarski, by Read]
|
|
17746
|
Tarski's 'truth' is a precise relation between the language and its semantics [Tarski, by Walicki]
|
|
10904
|
Tarskian truth neglects the atomic sentences [Mulligan/Simons/Smith on Tarski]
