Correspondence theory is a traditional model which goes back at least to some of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. [2] [3] This class of theories holds that the truth or the falsity of a representation is determined solely by how it relates to a reality; that is, by whether it accurately describes that reality.
A classic example of correspondence theory is the statement by the thirteenth century philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas: "Veritas est adaequatio rei et intellectus" ("Truth is the adequation of things and intellect"), which Aquinas attributed to the ninth century Neoplatonist Isaac Israeli.

[14] Truthmaker theory is closely related to correspondence theory; some authors see it as a modern version of correspondence theory. [15]
Perhaps explain the Theory by describing one it therefore is NOT. As described, I struggle to understand how the Correspondence Theory is not possible. Also, explanations of alternatives to the Correspondence Theory would be helpful - as is done in the Stanford Encyclopedia entry. IntangibleTruth 06:27, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Thus, one way to look at the slingshot is as simply another argument in favor of Russell's theory of definite descriptions. If one is not willing to accept Russell's theory, then it seems wise to challenge either substitution or redistribution, which seem to be the other weakest points in the argument. Perry (1996), for example, rejects both of ...
The doctrine of analogy and correspondence, present in all esoteric schools of thinking, upholds that the Whole is One and that its different levels (realms, worlds) are equivalent systems, whose parts are in strict correspondence. So much so that a part in a realm symbolically reflects and interacts with the corresponding part in another realm.
