Tarski's notion of truth

Tarski's notion of truth is a formal way of understanding what it means for a statement to be true. He proposed that a statement is true if it accurately describes the world. For example, the sentence "Snow is white" is true if and only if snow is indeed white. Tarski developed a precise framework that shows how truth can be consistently defined within a formal language, avoiding paradoxes. Essentially, he aimed to create a clear, logical foundation for truth that links language and reality, ensuring that our statements reliably reflect the facts they describe.
