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

18902	Correspondence theories can't tell you what truths correspond to [Davidson]
	Full Idea: The real objection to correspondence theories is that such theories fail to provide entities to which truth vehicles (as statements, sentence, or utterances) can be said to correspond.
	From: Donald Davidson (The Structure and Content of Truth [1990], p.304), quoted by Fred Sommers - Intellectual Autobiography Notes 23
	A reaction: This is the remark which provoked Sommers to come out with Idea 18901, which strikes me as rather profound.
