| Oct 12 at 9:18 | comment | added | Kristian Berry | @DavidGudeman what about a biconditional like, "A set of propositions would ideally cohere in the mind of an omniscient being if and only if those propositions are based on the facts"? Alternatively, pragmatic theories of truth can incorporate correspondence/similar senses of truth, see e.g. Kaspers[23]. | |
