“A theory maintaining that a proposition will be true if it forms part of a system of mutually coherent propositions which is wider than any rival system. The coherence or consistency in question must of course be definable independently of truth, which may be difficult. The theory is favored especially by Objective Idealism, which rejects the sharp distinction between what is known and the knowing of it that the Correspondence Theory of Truth seems to require. Idealists tend to add, however, that only the system as a whole is fully true, the individual component propositions being only partly true or true to some degree. (See also Degrees of Truth). Weaker version of the theory say that such coherence provides a criterion of truth in some or all cases, truth itself being defined -if at all- in some other way.”
