Logic Texts on Correspondence Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Read III 27 VsWittgenstein/Read: the correspondence theory is a realistic theory. The realism of the correspondence theory compels us to accept the law of bivalence. There may be statements about which we cannot in principle say whether they are true or false. (>The Present King of France is bald). Re III 40 VsCorrespondence Theory: The correspondence theory contains a metaphysics of facts and events correlated with statements. That is its fundamental misunderstanding. The truth scheme is neutral on this issue. >Correspondence theory. Re III 242 Correspondence theory: according to it, the truth predicate a substantive predicate which assigns a relational property to statements. True sentences then have a real property that distinguishes them from false statements. Correspondence Theory: Ontology contains facts - statements are made true by facts, not by things. >Fact, >Truth maker._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
