19071 | The deeper sense of truth is a thing matching the idea of what it ought to be [Hegel] |
Full Idea: Truth in the deeper sense is the identity between objectivity and the notion. It is in this deeper sense of truth that we speak of a true state or work of art. These are true if they are as they ought to be (their reality corresponds to their notion). | |
From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Logic (Encyclopedia I) [1817], §213) | |
A reaction: This seems to be a correspondence theory, but not as we know it, Jim. He seems to have a value built into truth, which sounds to me like existentialist 'authenticity'. I like what he is saying, but I would analyse it into two or more components. |
