Truth in context vs ultimate truth
#12
RE: Truth in context vs ultimate truth
Real or true? The OP seems to be conflating the two.

If the correspondence theory of truth is correct, what is true is what corresponds to some fact in the world. In that sense, context doesn't matter. For context to matter, I think you'd have to be talking about a different theory of truth. However, most people mean the correspondence theory when they talk about truth.
