7. Existence / D. Theories of Reality / 8. Facts / c. Facts and truths

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.
