correspondence theory of truth
The correspondence theory of truth states that the truth or falsity of a statement is determined only by how it relates to the world and whether it accurately describes (i.e., corresponds with) that world.〔Hanna and Harrison (2004), ch.1, p.21, quotation: 〕
Correspondence theories claim that true beliefs and true statements correspond to the actual state of affairs. This type of theory attempts to posit a relationship between thoughts or statements on one hand, and things or facts on the other.
It is a traditional model which goes back at least to some of the classical Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.〔Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Vol.2, "Correspondence Theory of Truth", auth: Arthur N. Prior, p223-224 Macmillan, 1969〕 This class of theories holds that the truth or the falsity of a representation is determined solely by how it relates to a reality; that is, by whether it accurately describes that reality. As Aristotle claims in his Metaphysics: "To say that () that which is, is not or that which is not is, is a falsehood; and to say that that which is, is and that which is not is not, is true".〔Aristotle, Metaphysics, 1011b26〕
