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

23292	Correspondence can't be defined, but it shows how truth depends on the world [Davidson]
	Full Idea: Correspondence, while it is empty as a definition, does capture the thought that truth depends on how the world is.
	From: Donald Davidson (Truth Rehabilitated [1997], p.16)
	A reaction: Just don't try to give a precise account of the correspondence between two things (thoughts and facts) which are so utterly different in character.
