Alfred Tarski on Truth Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Skirbekk I 144 T-Schema/Tarski: left side: name of the statement (in quotes). This can also be marking or spelling. "p": any statement "x": replaces the name of this statement. Then we ask for the logical relationship between the statements "x is true" and "p". Skirbekk I 145 "p" will be replaced by a statement and "x" by the name of that statement. The schema itself is not the truth-definition.(1) >Tarski scheme, >Truth definition, >Disquotation scheme. 1.
