The Correspondence Theory of Truth

The Correspondence Theory of Truth suggests that a statement or belief is true if it accurately reflects reality or facts. In other words, truth is determined by how well a statement matches what actually exists or happens in the world. For example, the statement "The sky is blue" is true if, in reality, the sky is indeed blue. This theory emphasizes an objective connection between our statements and the external world, making truth a matter of correspondence between language and fact.
