Here we go
What we know about the world makes what we know about words true, according to the Correspondence theory of truth. Most realist tend to agree with this idea of truths and claims. The world being the truth and the "words" being the claim. The Coherence theory of truth though is a word to word relationship. I find it hard to find truth in this theory if it is all of word. Using the same meaning for word as we did in the correspondence theory, claim. A claim can either be true or false depending on the variables so if something is true if and only if it follows from another truth what is to say the first truth is true. If there is no world and in result no universe or universal truths which we accept.
