3. Truth / C. Correspondence Truth / 2. Correspondence to Facts

13469	Tarski showed how we could have a correspondence theory of truth, without using 'facts' [Hart,WD]
	Full Idea: It is an ancient and honourable view that truth is correspondence to fact; Tarski showed us how to do without facts here.
	From: William D. Hart (The Evolution of Logic [2010], 2)
	A reaction: This is a very interesting spin on Tarski, who certainly seems to endorse the correspondence theory, even while apparently inventing a new 'semantic' theory of truth. It is controversial how far Tarski's theory really is a 'correspondence' theory.
