    Hello elephant,

    Scott said:
    Thus you miss the point when you give examples that are true by correspondence. Truth by correspondence only works when the example consists of sense-perceptible particulars, as is the case in your examples. But as soon as generalities are involved, truth by correspondence doesn't work.

    Are there any sense-perceptible particulars?

    What do you mean by 'sense-perceptible'?

    Matt:
    Scott, I think, might mean these things in a sophisticated philosophical way, but I surely don't. As a good, pragmatic, unsophisticate, I simply mean that if I see a tiger, I can go, "Hey, there's a tiger," and people will stop and go "Hey, you are right. How very perceptible of you. That is true," as I run away from the tiger to let it eat them.

    Matt
