3. Truth / C. Correspondence Truth / 2. Correspondence to Facts

17740	Instead of correspondence of proposition to fact, look at correspondence of its parts [Jenkins]
	Full Idea: Instead of considering only a proposition's 'correspondence to the facts', we should also consider the correspondence between parts of the proposition and parts of the world (a 'correspondence-as-congruence' view).
	From: Carrie Jenkins (Grounding Concepts [2008], Final - Branching)
	A reaction: This is something like Russell's Othello example (1912), except that the parts there, with relations seemed to add up to the whole proposition. For Jenkins, presumably parts might correspond, but the whole proposition fail to.
