Tarski (Alfred Tarski)

Alfred Tarski was a mathematician who developed formal methods to analyze how we define and understand truth within languages and systems. He created a precise way to determine what makes a statement true based on its structure and the facts it describes, emphasizing the importance of clear relationships between language, meaning, and reality. His work helps ensure that logical systems and mathematical languages are consistent and reliable, forming a foundation for modern logic, computer science, and philosophy of language. Essentially, Tarski provided tools to rigorously study how words and symbols relate to the world they represent.
