Harris, Hegel, and the truth about truth
pp. 23-29
Abstract
Harris's reflections on Hegel's correspondence theory of truth are rich and suggestive. We agree about many important, if controversial, points: Hegel relied on coherence as an important element in justification, he did not hold a coherence theory of the nature of truth, he is a realist, he holds a correspondence theory of the nature of truth, "truth as correspondence" is crucial to Hegel's view of philosophical truth, and human beings attain truth as a social and historical enterprise.1
