COHERENCE THEORY

• Coherence is synonymous to "harmony" or the agreement of one set of

knowledge with another set of knowledge so long as one preposition or
statement can be derived from another statement without any
contradiction through the formal law of logic.

• The coherence theory of truth states that if a proposition coheres with

all the other propositions taken to be true, then it is true.
-The truth of a belief can only consist in its coherence with other
beliefs; truth comes in degrees

• Coherence theorists hold that truth consists in coherence . with a set

of beliefs or with a set of propositions held to be true, not just an
arbitrary collection of propositions
 CORRESPONDENCE THEORY
 This theory holds that truth is the agreement between that is
asserted or declared and the world of facts, In short, our
knowledge is true if only based on facts or objective reality.
- The statement "I'm typing on the computer" is true if and
only if I am actually in fact typing on the computer.

 The theory assumes that there is a real world of facts whose

existence does not depend on our beliefs, thoughts, or
perceptions, and to which our statements can correspond.
