19471 | A fact is a thought that is true [Frege] |
Full Idea: A fact is a thought that is true. | |
From: Gottlob Frege (The Thought: a Logical Enquiry [1918], p.342(74)) | |
A reaction: It strikes me as pretty obvious that facts are not thoughts, because they concern the contents of thoughts. You can't discuss facts without the notion of what a thought is 'about'. If I think about my garden, the relevant fact is aspects of my garden. |
