N2  - According to the correspondence theory of truth a proposition is true if and only if it corresponds to a fact. The present entry explains this definition, outlines an ontology of facts, and sketches a theory of meaning that naturally accompanies the correspondence theory of truth. It also discusses two major challenges the correspondence theory faces, related to the meanings of the logical expressions ?not? and ?all,? and surveys possible solutions.
