This book offers a detailed study of the truth-bearers problem,
that is, the question of which category of items the predicates a
~truea (TM) and a ~falsea (TM) are predicated. The book has two
dimensions: historical and systematic. Both focus around Tarskia
(TM)s semantic theory of truth. The author locates Tarskia (TM)s
ideas in a broad context of Austrian philosophy, in particular,
Brentanoa (TM)s tradition. However, Bolzano and phenomenology
(Husserl and Reinach) are also taken into account. The historical
perspective is completed by showing how Tarski was rooted in Polish
philosophical tradition originated with Twardowski and his version
of Brentanism. The historical considerations are the basis for
showing how the idea of truth-bearers as acts of judging was
transformed into the theory of truth-bearers as sentences. In
particular, the author analyses the way to nominalism in Polish
philosophy, culminating in Lesniewski, Kotarbinski and Tarski. This
book is indispensable for everybody interested in the evolution of
Austrian philosophy from descriptive psychology to semantics. It is
also a fundamental contribution toward a deeper understanding of
the philosophical background of Tarskia (TM)s theory of truth.
