Individual meaning and conceptual factual information surround everyday life. Claims supported by facts range from stating that the rain is made from water to the sun in our solar system is 15 million kilometers away. The Correspondence Theory takes information and attaches it to a real world comparison considered factual. Each truth is only named a truth when it is attached to something considered factual. Throughout history, the metaphysical question, of what truth and facts truly are, has been explored in all forms, relying on anything from the facts of what we already know to things considered impossible being possible by the shear fact that the idea exists.
A large gap exists in the Correspondence Theory when it comes to ideas considered fact regardless of direct experience by a human. Consider the given fact stated earlier that the Sun is approximately 15 million kilometers away from Earth; the knowledge has not been physically measured by any human from end to end. Rather, the distance has been measured by …show more content…
Opposing theories suggest that each individual person has a created reality that is completely independent of anything other than our own mind perception. Unifying everyone's reality suggests that some greater force controls and maintains our reality as well as creates a set of factual information with relation to tangible perception that is able to be applied to everything and everyone. While this idea of unification is possible, no evidence can be given to prove any opposing or supporting viewpoints. The strength within the Correspondence Theory exists in the ability to apply a set of beliefs to a set of facts. The Sun is a measurable distance from the Earth as viewed by the naked eye and measured by scientific methodology. Most believe that the Sun is approximately 15 million kilometers away because our science has proven it to be
