Tarski's Truth Definitions

Tarski's Truth Definitions aim to clarify what it means for a statement to be true within a formal language. He proposed that we can define truth by linking words to the actual facts they describe—for example, saying "‘Snow is white’ is true if and only if snow is white." This approach creates a precise, logical way to understand truth without ambiguity, ensuring that statements' meanings and their correspondence to reality are clearly aligned. It helps prevent misunderstandings and paradoxes about what statements mean and whether they are true.
