In one paper, this philosopher defended epistemological relativism from the attack of Hilary Putnam in a paper titled "Realism and Relativism," and answered in the negative the question posed by the title of another paper, "Is Mathematical Knowledge Just Logical Knowledge?" In an important 1972 paper, this thinker argued that the title philosopher's project was to reduce the title concept to "other semantic notions"; that paper is titled "Tarski's Theory of Truth," and along with Paul Horwich, (*) this philosopher has been the foremost proponent of the idea that asserting the truth of a statement is identical to asserting the statement itself.
