One of the central pieces of evidence used in Chapter 16 is an unpublished lecture by Tarski entitled “On the completeness and categoricity of deductive theories”(1940). This Chapter provides a step by step commentary of this lecture that in addition to shedding light into Tarski’s notion of logical consequence also contains important developments concerning the notions of categoricity and semantical completeness in higher order logic that have recently been the object of renewed attention by mathematical logicians.

Keywords:   Key words: logical consequence, categoricity, semantical completeness, syntactical completeness, Tarski, Carnap
