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? |
