Frankly, I don't know much about Alfred Tarski but surely Stefan Banach was incredibly impressive person to me. A pearl of Lwowska Szkoła Matematyczna vel Lwów School of Mathematics.
Did Tarski inspire Hintikka's use of possible world semantics as regards to modal logic. You know, replacing the rigid true, false, possible triad with degrees of truth? Or am I wrong? Just trying to figure out modal realism.
+Jerad Clark Possible world semantics comes from Kripke, not Tarski from my understanding. Modal Realism, as in the position that possible worlds actually exist is often attributed to David Lewis. I'm not terribly familiar with Hintikka on degrees of truth though.
This was very helpful to understand his theory, really helped our presentation
greetings from Germany:)
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
He is also the Tarski of the Banach-Tarski Paradox.
+louisng114 True. He did a lot of really cool work!

Cool so what’s the paradox
