1944. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. A vague "bend", otherwise a very clean, fresh, and fine copy. Pp. (341)-376. First printing, in the scarce off -print, with a presentation- inscription to front free end-paper "To Professor P.W. Bridgman/ with best regards/ A.Tarski.", of Tarski's important contribution to his main topic, to which he provided fundamental contributions: The semantic theory of truth. Tarski's semantic conception of truth plays a central role in modern logic as well as in contemporary philosophy of language. Tarski's shy nature means that he rarely gave away inscribed copies of his works, and a presentation-copy like the present is a rare sight. The paper is centered around the notion of truth. The main problem is that of giving a satisfactory definition of this notion, i.e., a definition which is materially adequate and formally correct. Tarski (1901-1983) has contributed seminally to the fields of mathematics and logic in a number of ways, and together with Frege, Russell and Gödel, he now ranks as one of the most important contributors to the field of modern logic.
