Quoting Phil Enns <phil.enns@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Finally, how is a correspondence between a linguistic phenomenon,
the 'statement', and a presumably non-linguistic entity, the 'fact',
possible? I would suggest that this is not a helpful approach to a
"theory of truth".
I think Phil's question is a very astute one. I wish I had an answer. Or:
perhaps I shouldn't wish for an answer since there is not, and cannot be, an
answer. (Note that philosopers are much more interested in in the latter sort
of claim than in the former.) Perhaps the only way to show that a belief or
statement is true is through its relation(s) to other beliefs or statements.
