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

4816	A true idea must correspond with its ideate or object [Spinoza]

	From: Baruch de Spinoza (The Ethics [1675], I Ax 6)
	A reaction: Allowing for his usage of 'idea' and 'object', this seems to be a straightforward commitment to the modern correspondence theory, perhaps the earliest clear statement of it. I agree with him.
