Truth: Its Reality, Sphere, and Form of Correspondence (with an Emphasis on the Preferred View)

In addition to the discussion about the criterion of truth, there have been different theories explaining and analyzing its reality in contemporary epistemology. Focusing on the preferred view concerning the correspondence theory of truth, the present article would try to explain it by first dealing with statement-truth and narrator-truth among other topics. It further discusses the sphere of truth as well as whether truth and falsity are peculiarly applicable to propositions, and non-applicable to intuitive knowledge, ideas and concepts. Stating the three foundations of truth in the correspondence theory of truth, the article concludes with explaining the quality of realization of correspondence in author’s view.
