An undecidable problem in correspondence theory

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1991
In this paper we prove undecidability of first-order definability of propositional formulas. The main result is proved for intuitionistic formulas, but it remains valid for other kinds of propositional formulas by analogous arguments or with the help of various translations.For general background on correspondence theory the reader is referred to van ...

Hegel's Correspondence Theory of Truth

Bulletin of the Hegel Society of Great Britain, 1994
“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”.“Philosophical truth” however ...

Theory of dynamic correspondence

Technical Physics, 1999
A general theory of dynamic similarity, which includes processes with strong disequilibrium and considers the generalized similarity of processes, is discussed. The basic laws of the theory, viz., the measures of action and dynamic correspondence, are formulated. A basic tool for dynamic correspondence, viz., the object-process classifier, is proposed.

Quine and the Correspondence Theory

The Philosophical Review, 1974
AbstractA correspondence theory of truth explains truth in terms of various correspondence relations (e.g. reference) between words and the world. Quine's doctrine of indeterminacy is often supposed to undermine correspondence theories of truth, and Quine himself argued this in Ontological Relativity with his doctrine of ‘relative reference’.
