Single Idea 15343

[filed under theme 3. Truth / F. Semantic Truth / 2. Semantic Truth ]

Full Idea

One of the most popular semantic theories of truth is Kripke's theory. It describes a class of models which themselves involve a truth predicate (unlike Tarski's semantic theory).

Gist of Idea

Kripke offers a semantic theory of truth (involving models)

Source

report of Saul A. Kripke (Outline of a Theory of Truth [1975]) by Leon Horsten - The Tarskian Turn 02.3

Book Ref

A Reaction

The modern versions explored by Horsten are syntactic versions of this, derived from Feferman's axiomatisation of the Kripke theory.
