Tarski's Semantic Theory of Truth

Tarski's Semantic Theory of Truth is a formal way to define what it means for a statement to be true. It posits that a statement is true if it accurately reflects reality. For example, the statement "Snow is white" is true if and only if snow is actually white. Tarski emphasized that truth should be grounded in the language's structure and its relation to reality, avoiding paradoxes like the Liar. This approach provides a systematic way to understand and analyze truth in logical and mathematical contexts, ensuring that statements and their meanings are consistent and well-defined.
