Abstract

Alfred Tarski (1902-1983) provides a ground-breaking account of truth in his famous “The Concept of Truth in Formalized Languages” (originally 1933). To have an adequate grasp of this account, which has had a huge impact on subsequent discussions and investigations concerning truth, is necessary for a proper understanding of contemporary discussions about truth. Our aim in this paper is to give a clear presentation of Tarski’s account of truth.
