3. Truth / D. Coherence Truth / 1. Coherence Truth
19076 Coherence theories differ over the coherence relation, and over the set of proposition with which to cohere [Young,JO]
19077 Two propositions could be consistent with your set, but inconsistent with one another [Young,JO]
19078 Coherence with actual beliefs, or our best beliefs, or ultimate ideal beliefs? [Young,JO]

3. Truth / H. Deflationary Truth / 2. Deflationary Truth
19075 Deflationary theories reject analysis of truth in terms of truth-conditions [Young,JO]

4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 4. Axioms for Sets / b. Axiom of Extensionality I
13013 The Axiom of Extensionality seems to be analytic [Maddy]
13014 Extensional sets are clearer, simpler, unique and expressive [Maddy]

13021 The Axiom of Infinity states Cantor's breakthrough that launched modern mathematics [Maddy]
13022 Infinite sets are essential for giving an account of the real numbers [Maddy]
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 4. Axioms for Sets / g. Axiom of Powers VI
13023 The Power Set Axiom is needed for, and supported by, accounts of the continuum [Maddy]
4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 4. Axioms for Sets / j. Axiom of Choice IX

4. Formal Logic / F. Set Theory ST / 5. Conceptions of Set / f. Limitation of Size
13018 Limitation of Size is a vague intuition that over-large sets may generate paradoxes [Maddy]
19. Language / A. Nature of Meaning / 4. Meaning as Truth-Conditions
19074 Are truth-condtions other propositions (coherence) or features of the world (correspondence)? [Young,JO]
