3 Sep 1996 A coherence theory of truth states that the truth of any (true) proposition consists in its coherence with some specified set of propositions. The coherence theory differs from its principal competitor, the correspondence theory of truth, in two essential respects. The competing theories give conflicting accounts
A summary sketchl. The object of this section is to sketch the main kinds of theories of truth which have been proposed, and to indicate how they relate to each other. (Subsequent sections will discuss some theories in detail.) Coherence theories take truth to consist in relations of coherence among a set of beliefs.
ence, pragmatic, and semantic theories of truth. The correspondence theory of truth is the most easily understood. Correspondence theory is “garden variety" truth; that is, it is the theory Coherence theory is that certain propositions may have no connec- tion with reality, but be internally consistent (coherent) between

ABSTRACT. Quine argues, in ''On the Nature of Moral Values'' that a coherence theory of truth is the ''lot of ethics''. In this paper, I do a bit of work from within Quinean theory. Specifically, I explore precisely what a coherence theory of truth in ethics might look like and what it might imply for the study of normative value

In this chapter, a set of replies to Richard Rorty's then?pragmatist criticisms, Davidson defends a coherence theory of truth that is not incompatible but in fact yields a correspondence theory. He argues that the common ground for the theories are considerations of meaning and the objective truth?conditions that state when
A New Approach to the Coherence Theory of Truth. By Dominic Kenneth Dimech. Abstract: This paper does not argue that the coherence theory should be the accepted theory about what truth is. It aims, rather, to present the coherence theory of truth in a new light, in a way that sheds understanding on why the theory has
