Paradoxes Quine VI 124
Comprehension/paradoxes/Quine: that each element relation (each term) results in a set is not possible because of Burali-Forti, etc. - Solution: these element relations (conditions) may determine sets, or perhaps the last (outermost) classes - outer condition: cannot be an element in turn - are introduced layer after layer - for classical mathematics "true0" already suffices - everything is in one language - there is a hierarchy of truth predicates. >Truth Predicate/Quine.
VII (g) 136
Paradoxes/Quine: no longer occur when the levels of language are distinguished, i.e. if one keeps out the expressions "true-in-L", "denotes-in-L", etc. of the language L itself.
IX 124
Burali-Forti/paradox/Quine: "the class of ordinal numbers does not exist": "NO ε ϑ": is the tamed version of Burali-Forti: that there must be a larger ordinal number and simultaneously it cannot exist. - Reductio ad absurdum of the comparability of the ordinal numbers - solution/today: we will not assume that every condition about the existence of an element relation determines a class.
X 70
Grelling paradox/Quine: "x does not fulfil itself" must not occur in the object language. >Object Language/Quine.

Term Scope Tarski I Berka 446
Term scope/Tarski: language-dependent. - The same expression can be used in a language for a true statement, for a false or nonsensical statement in another language. - So there is no general Truth-Definition.(1) >Language dependence, >Truth definition, >True-in-L

Truth Predicate Foster I 9
T- predicate /truth predicate/Tarski: the T-predicate is uninterpreted. - Davidson: searches interpretive meaning theory (truth as a simple basic concept). ((s) Interpretative truth theory: is a solution for the problem of the equivalence of the sentences "snow is white" and "gras is green".) >Interpretation/Foster.
I 9
Davidson/Foster: if the T-predicate true-in-L "has to explain its own meaning, i.e. what is "true-in-L" means, it can not simultaneously interpret the expressions of L.

Tarski, A. Putnam Vs Tarski, A. Brendel I 70
Truth Def/theory of truth/PutnamVsTarski/Putnam/Brendel: Tarski's theory is counterintuitive from the outset: this also applies to the model theoretical variants. They do not do our intuitive concept of "true" justice.
Brendel I 71
His concept of truth is not even "semantic". BrendelVsPutnam: his concept of "intuitive truth" itself is quite unclear.
Brendel I 72
"True-in-L"/PutnamVsTarski: doesn't consider the speaker nor their use of expressions. It depends only on syntactic features. Problem: Then "snow is white" is also true in such possible worlds in which the words have an entirely different meaning! Then they correspond to another issue. Then what is semantic about it? And what does it mean that in a counterfactual situation a sentence is true-in-L, but not "true"? It must then be said, in what language the phrase is "not true".
Brendel I 73
It should also be explained why such a "counterfactual situation" shows that "truth" was not analyzed conceptually. E.g.
I1: "Snow is white" here means that snow is white (L1).
I2: here that water is liquid.
I2: in a trivial sense "snow is white" is also L1-true! This is the case even if in a world "snow" and "white" are interpreted in a way that they express a false sentence in this possible world.
Ex ""The earth is at rest" is true in a geocentric worldview" is true also in the heliocentric worldview.
Counterfactual situation/Putnam/Brendel: here, the expressions are supposed to have a different meaning, and the issue to continue to hold that snow is white.
Brendel I 73
Counterfactual situation/Putnam/Brendel: expressions have a different meaning, but the SBV are equal.
I (a) 16
PutnamVsTarski: it must be added a certain substantial understanding of reference and truth, in which both are not made conditional on the possibility of human knowledge. (That would be the case of instrumentalism which thinks a sentence must be true if certain criteria are met, such as "sensations xyz are present."). Truth has to go beyond basic recognizability according to realism.

I (b) 66
PutnamVsTarski: many think that he has completely and precisely defined reference, I do not. Truth/reference/Field: (1972) has shown that the "definitions of truth" and "definitions of reference" of logic did not do their job at all.
PutnamVsTarski: his "Convention T" does not clarify the concepts of truth and reference, because it uses the terms of the designation of a sentence and "following from something". These concepts are closely related to truth and reference, but need to be clarified.
