No, you are not. The correspondence theory is not the theory that facts are individuals, nor that facts can be individuals, or anything of the sort. — Banno
Is truth a property of sentences , or is truth a property of propositions — Pie
the prosentential view remain undiscussed — Banno
R v ~ R is true. Does R v ~R correspond to anything? — Agent Smith
R v ~R happily corresponds to the fact of it raining, just as R v X, for any X does. — Srap Tasmaner
But (~R v R) does not have the same truth value as (R v X), which would be false if it were not raining and X were false. — Banno
there's going to be, at a bare minimum, a partial correspondence (it'll rain OR it'll not) — Agent Smith
Obvious candidates are (a) that "possible" is short for "possibly true" — Srap Tasmaner
(3) Is what Sheila said true?
(4) Is what Sheila said possible? — Srap Tasmaner
It is worthy of notice that the sentence “I smell the scent of violets” has the same content as the sentence “It is true that I smell the scent of violets.” So it seems, then, that nothing is added to the thought by my ascribing to it the property of truth. (Frege, 1918) — link
Not so much because that's not an exclusive or. You're talking about something else. — Srap Tasmaner
That'd be ~(R & ~R). Not the same. Unless you are Meta. — Banno
it corresponds to the fact that at any place and time it is always either raining or not raining, which amounts to much the same thing. — Janus
This seems to have the odd result that the sentence "it is raining or it is not raining" is true because it corresponds to anywhere.
And here I am again at a loss to say what that correspondence amounts to. "it is raining or it is not raining" does not seem to mean "anywhere". — Banno
But "Its raining, or it isn't" says nothing about time or place. It still seems odd to insist that it does, clandestinely. — Banno
