Abstract
The article studies the validity of H. Field’s assumption of the possibility of confusing two different conceptions of truth, a correspondent conception and a disquotational one, in the concept of truth as it is used in the natural language. It is shown that both philosophical conceptions are not sufficiently developed to represent Field’s assumption as a well-developed theory. We ascertain that Field’s assumption faces the problem of explaining the possibility of disquotational truth to increase a theoretical-evidential value of the theory in mathematics.
