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

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.
