Description: Tarskian Truth, Disquotationalism and Correspondence
That there are problems with Tarski's theory of truth is not a new idea,
but I argue here that the central problem has been overlooked. It is this
problem that is responsible for the alarming discrepancy in the perception
of the theory: for whereas Tarski saw his theory as a vindication of the
correspondence intuition, most modern commentators since Quine have thought
that it was a disquotationalist account --- or more properly, that the
instances if the T-schema should be understood in that way. I argue that
when the problem is understood and corrected that Tarski's theory is indeed
a correspondence theory, albeit an incomplete one. This leads to my final
claim, easily demonstrated, I think, that the disquotationalist conception
of truth is simply a confusion --- indeed it is a use/mention confusion.
