• You can't say that a statement or a judgment, is true unless you can say that it coheres with a system of other statements.
  • Every true statement is a member of a system of other true statements, and all of them are tied together logically.
  • Within the system, everything fits in with everything else. A limit in our ever knowing the truth of a statement is the degree to which we can also know all the other true statements in the system. If we can't know them all, then we have to admit that a statement might possess only a degree of truth (and an undetermined degree of falseness.)
  • The coherence theory of truth gives reasons for the truth of falsity of statements-in-relation-to-other-statements. It does not determine the truth of facts or experience.
