Coherence Theory of Truth

The Coherence Theory of Truth suggests that a statement is true if it fits well within a larger, consistent system of beliefs or propositions. In this view, truth is not about individual statements matching reality but rather how well they harmonize with other beliefs. This idea aligns with Deflationary Theories of Truth, which argue that asserting something is true is merely a way of expressing agreement with it, rather than adding a significant claim about reality. Thus, truth is understood through relationships among beliefs rather than as a distinct property of statements.
