Kripke's semantic theory has actually inspired promising axiomatic theories
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Kripke has a semantic theory of truth which has inspired promising axiomatic theories of truth.
|
|
|
|
From:
report of Saul A. Kripke (Outline of a Theory of Truth [1975]) by Leon Horsten - The Tarskian Turn 01.2
|
|
|
|
A reaction:
Feferman produced an axiomatic version of Kripke's semantic theory.

Kripke offers a semantic theory of truth (involving models)
|
|
|
|
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).

From:
report of Saul A. Kripke (Outline of a Theory of Truth [1975]) by Leon Horsten - The Tarskian Turn 02.3
|
|
|
|
A reaction:
The modern versions explored by Horsten are syntactic versions of this, derived from Feferman's axiomatisation of the Kripke theory.

Certain three-valued languages can contain their own truth predicates
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Kripke showed via a fixed-point argument that certain three-valued languages can contain their own truth predicates.

|
From:
report of Saul A. Kripke (Outline of a Theory of Truth [1975]) by Anil Gupta - Truth
|
|
|
|
A reaction:
[Gupta also cites Martin and Woodruff 1975] It is an odd paradox that truth can only be included if one adds a truth-value of 'neither true nor false'. The proposed three-valued system is 'strong Kleene logic'.

The Tarskian move to a metalanguage may not be essential for truth theories
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Kripke established that, contrary to the prevalent Tarskian dogma, attributions of truth do not always force a move to a metalanguage.

Kripke classified fixed points, and illuminated their use for clarifications
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Kripke's main contribution was …his classification of the different consistent fixed points and the discussion of their use for discriminating between ungrounded sentences, paradoxical sentences, and so on.
