ABSTRACT

Alfred Tarski and Saul Kripke are among the philosophers who believe that the Liar Paradox presses for modification of the concept of truth. They attempted to 'solve' the paradox by showing how their definitions of truth can dissolve the paradox. In this paper, I investigated how Kripke attempted to overcome the problems that Tarski's definition of truth faces and what kind of difficulties Kripke's theory of truth faces in its turn.
