A number of different views have been put forward as positions that Franz Brentano held at some stage in his career. The received view has it that the early Brentano subscribed to a form of correspondence theory which he later rejected in favor of a definition of truth in terms of correct judging, where the correctness of a judgment is defined in terms of the notion of self-evidence. This fundamental shift in Brentano's view is regarded as a change from an ontological to a "gnoseological", that is epistemic, theory of truth. Brentano's mature view is sometimes said to resemble a neo-Kantian conception of truth or related views; it has been compared with a coherence theory of truth; and it is regarded as embracing a form of alethic antirealism that places a substantial epistemic constraint on the concept of truth. More recently, Charles Parsons suggested that the early Brentano may also be regarded as a precursor of a deflationist theory of truth.
