Adevăr și semnificație

Paula Pompilia Tomi explores the relationship between truth and meaning, focusing on Donald Davidson’s attempt to use Alfred Tarski’s semantic truth theory for natural languages. Drawing on Mircea Dumitru’s critique, the text argues that knowing truth conditions via Tarski’s T-schema is insufficient to grasp a sentence's meaning. Through paradoxes like the "Liar" and "Pinocchio," Tomi demonstrates that meaning must be assumed to avoid semantic failure, concluding that Davidson’s program requires significant refinement.
