Truth and correspondence to the facts i: the basic idea the correspondence principle, if a se(cid:374)te(cid:374)(cid:272)e e(cid:454)p(cid:396)esses a state(cid:373)e(cid:374)t that des(cid:272)(cid:396)i(cid:271)es the (cid:449)o(cid:396)ld correctly, then it (and the statement it expresses) is true. If not, then the statement (and the sentence expressing it) is false. It just gives truth-conditions for a statement: the (cid:272)o(cid:396)(cid:396)espo(cid:374)de(cid:374)(cid:272)e p(cid:396)i(cid:374)(cid:272)iple (cid:894)cp(cid:895) (cid:373)a(cid:455) see(cid:373) so o(cid:271)(cid:448)ious that it"s (cid:374)ot e(cid:448)e(cid:374) (cid:449)o(cid:396)th stati(cid:374)g. but, it is (cid:449)o(cid:396)th stati(cid:374)g a(cid:374)d thi(cid:374)ki(cid:374)g about (cp) carefully.
