3. Truth / D. Coherence Truth / 1. Coherence Truth
Truth is a relation to a whole of organised knowledge in the collection of rational minds [Green,TH, by Muirhead]
     Full Idea: When we speak of anything as true or false, we do so on the ground of its relation to a whole of organised knowledge existing actually in no human mind, but prefigured in every mind which is possessed of reason.
     From: report of T.H. Green (works [1875]) by John H. Muirhead - The Service of the State I n1
     A reaction: This seems to be the super-idealist view of the coherence account of truth. I have no idea what 'prefigured' means here.
