Abstract

In 1933 Tarski published his celebrated monograph on the semantic conception of truth. In December of that year Carnap sent to the printer the manuscript of his Logical Syntax of Language' (henceforth LSL). Although it is well known that Tarski's work had a great impact on Carnap's post-syntacticist philosophy, the specific nature of this influence is not so widely recognized. Our main purpose here is to determine how far Carnap's syntax was from Tarski's semantics in 1933. To this end we will first determine what the former (section 1) and the latter (section 2) had to say about truth, and then examine the difference between them (section 3).
