Hegel's correspondence theory of truth

H. Harris

pp. 11-22

"The world," said Wittgenstein, "is the totality of facts, not of things." According to the "correspondence theory," therefore, "the truth" will be the totality of assertions that state "the facts." In Hegel's mature theory of "truth," this is not "philosophical truth" at all, but the ideal limit of "correct statement."
