Joachim (the philosopher credited with the definitive formulation of the theory, in his book The Nature of Truth, published in 1906), truth is a systematic coherence that involves more than logical consistency.[7] In this view, a proposition is true to the extent that it is a necessary constituent of a systematically coherent whole. The main problem for a coherence theory of truth, then, is how to specify just this particular set, given that the truth of which beliefs are actually held can only be determined by means of coherence.[citation needed] ^ a b c d e f g The Coherence Theory of Truth (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) ^ The Correspondence Theory of Truth (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Cornelius (1962), "Coherence Theory of Truth", in Dagobert D. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5487.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5487.txt
