On Mathematics and Abstract Language

From the video description:

Logic: The Structure of Reason

24:07: this is where Putnam describes the liar paradox and Tarski's semantic notion of truth and Tarski describes the Tower of Babel.

Three paintings: The Tower of Babel (Bruegel)

The Tower of Babel was the subject of three paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The first, a miniature painted on ivory, was painted while Bruegel was in Rome and is now lost.[1][2] The two surviving paintings, often distinguished by the prefix "Great" and "Little", are in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam respectively. Both are oil paintings on wood panels.


This is the one-and-a-half pages I mentioned: On Tarski's Semantic Definition of Truth "Convention T".
