The '''correspondence theory of truth''' states that something (for example, a proposition or statement or sentence) is rendered [[truth|true]] by the existence of a [[fact]] with corresponding elements and a similar structure. The theory maintains that the truth or falsity of a statement is determined only by how it relates to the world, and whether it accurately describes (i.e., corresponds with) that world. The theory presupposes an objective world and is therefore antagonistic to theories that problematise objectivity such as [[skepticism]] or [[relativism]].
