ABSTRACT

THERE is a tendency in some recent philosophical works to separate the nature of truth from its criterion. Dr. Ewing writes: 'The view that finds the nature of truth in 'coherence' should be rejected and a modified form of correspondence theory should be adopted/'1 But he has no objection to regard coherence as a criterion of truth, for "any possible ground of objection can be itself classed as an objection based on alleged incoherence, and therefore falls within the system by assuming that the really incoherent cannot be true."2
