Abstract:   (911 Views)
Tarski’s theory of truth was first introduced in “The concept of truth in formalized languages.” In this paper, we introduce Tarski’s truth theory in detail, based on the mentioned article, and make its account clear about the main questions that he faced. Also, we argue that accepting Tarski’s theory of truth entails Platonism in mathematics.
