| Truth conditions: the conditions under which statements, propositions, assertions, etc. are true are called truth conditions. In order to understand a sentence, according to some theories, it is sufficient to know its truth conditions. (Compare M. Dummett, Ursprünge der analytischen Philosophie Frankfurt, 1992, p. 20). According to these theories, one can understand not only true but also false sentences. See also semantics, sentence meaning, understanding, truth, meaning._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Alfred Tarski on Truth Conditions - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 127 Facts/truth-definition/Tarski: the reference to facts is missing in the scheme on purpose, Because it is not about truth conditions. >Tarski scheme, >Facts, >Truth conditions, cf. >Correpondence theory. It is only about that we have to assert ""snow is white" is true" if we state "snow is white". So we can keep the respectivement epistemic attitude. We can remain realists, idealists, etc ... Different truth-concept: This would only exist if "snow is white" would be true iff. Snow is not white! - Otherwise it would be the same truth-concept. That would not be necessarily absurd.(1) 1. A. Tarski, The semantic Conceptions of Truth, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 4, pp. 341-75_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
