The theory of the truth was widely attended by logic and philosophy all the time. Different scholars answered this question in the different time form on all kinds of times. Based on Aristotle's Correspondence Theory of Truth, A·Tarski raised his theory of definition of truth, i.e. Truth conditions theory and developed Aristotle's Correspondence Theory. It provided benefit help for research on semantic, logic, and so on. Especially, on the basis of Tarksi's definition of truth, D·Davidson, R·Carnap deepened the explore and study for the development of the theory of meanings. In the modern, philosophy and logician mainly considered the question on the meaning of language.

It synthesizes the Tarski, Davidson, Carnap's opinion to put forward a new thinking and method for them. The essay's importance focuses on Tarski's definition of the truth, including T-Equality, Two basis discipline and Davidson, Carnap's theory of meanings. And it combines them to give some advice by myself for them.The first chapter mainly states the background and basis content about Tarski's definition of the truth, gives out some views about it, like T-Equality, Materially Adequate, Formally Correct.
