3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 1. Truth
A true proposition is consistent with every other true proposition [Scruton]
     Full Idea: A true proposition is consistent with every other true proposition: no truth is contradicted by another.
     From: Roger Scruton (Modern Philosophy:introduction and survey [1994], 9.1)
     A reaction: Interesting. It resembles the rule that if you always tell the truth you don't need to remember what you said. Close to the heart of the concept of truth. Coherence and correspondence.
