Abstract
This paper contains some philosophical reflections on Gödelian (undecidable) sentences and the recognition of their truth using semantic arguments. These reflections are not new, similar matters have been extensively addressed in the philosophical literature. The matter is rather one of emphasis.
Keywords
Gödelian sentences, Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, semantical argument, truth theory, arithmetic, proof, provability
