Abstract
Logical empiricists have tended to reject, as a metaphysically loaded interpretation, the correspondence theory of truth. Some of them have even been tempted to reject the notion of truth altogether or to adopt a definition which amounted to a conflation of truth and verification. In order to reconstruct the early logical empiricist’s conceptions of truth, this chapter looks at Schlick’s early conception, then at Carnap’s view about truth up until Logical Syntax as well as at Neurath’s rejection of the concept of truth. Finally, Carnap’s semantic turn triggered by Tarski’s definition of truth is analyzed in the context of the previous debates on truth.
