In the paper Tarski's definition of truth is examined from the point of view of its philosophical presuppositions. It is argued that this definition presupposes that material truth is always related to some kind of truth-maker and that facts as truth-makers can be reconstructed by employing the resources of model theory. Moreover, one can find the main ingredients of the model-theoretic account of truth in Tarski's works already in the 1930s.
