3. Truth / C. Correspondence Truth / 3. Correspondence Truth critique

19465	There cannot be complete correspondence, because ideas and reality are quite different [Frege]
	Full Idea: It is essential that the reality shall be distinct from the idea. But then there can be no complete correspondence, no complete truth.
	From: Gottlob Frege (The Thought: a Logical Enquiry [1918], p.327 (60))
	A reaction: He thinks that logic can give a perfect account of truth, or at least the extension of truth, where ordinary language will always fail. I wonder what he would have thought of Tarski's theory?
