3. Truth / C. Correspondence Truth / 1. Correspondence Truth

9107	A proposition is true if its subject and predicate stand for the same thing [William of Ockham]
	Full Idea: If in the proposition 'This is an angel' subject and predicate stand for the same thing, the proposition is true.
	From: William of Ockham (Summa totius logicae [1323], II.c.ii)
	A reaction: An interesting statement of what looks like a correspondence theory, employing the idea that both the subject and the predicate have a reference. I think Frege would say that 'x is an angel' is unsaturated, and so lacks reference.
