Tarski's Threat to the T-Schema
Cian Chartier

Abstract:
This thesis examines truth theories. First, four relevant programs in
philosophy are considered. Second, four truth theories are compared
according to a range of criteria. The truth theories are categorised
according to Leitgeb’s eight criteria for a truth theory. The four
truth theories are then compared with each-other based on three new
criteria. In this way their relative usefulness in pursuing some of
the aims of the four programs is evaluated. This presents a
springboard for future work on truth: proposing ideas for different
truth theories that advance unambiguously different programs on the
basis of the four truth theories proposed.
