35 | A statement is true if all the data are in harmony with it [Aristotle] |
Full Idea: A statement is true if all the data are in harmony with it. | |
From: Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics [c.334 BCE], 1098b12) | |
A reaction: I think being 'in harmony' is a better than 'corresponds' as an attempt at pinpointing the truth relationship. It seems impossible to pin down how 'the bus is coming' relates to the bus coming. |
