5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 4. Satisfaction
'Satisfaction' is a generalised form of reference [Davidson]
     Full Idea: We can think of 'satisfaction' as a generalised form of reference.
     From: Donald Davidson (Truth and Predication [2005], 2)
     A reaction: Just the sort of simple point we novices need from the great minds, to help us see what is going on. One day someone is going to explain Tarski's account of truth in plain English, but probably not in my lifetime.
