Wiki sez-
"Historically, most advocates of correspondence theories
have been ontological realists; that is, they believe
that there is a world external to the minds of all humans.
This is in contrast to metaphysical idealists who hold
that everything that exists is, in the end, just an idea
in some mind. However, it is not strictly necessary that
a correspondence theory be married to ontological realism."
But I think Pragamatic theory falls more along the line of
the true as "that which we are prepared to act apon"
resting on fallibilism .
In the most commonly used sense of the term, this
consists in being open to new evidence that would
disprove some previously held position or belief,
and in the recognition that "any claim justified today
may need to be revised or withdrawn in light of new
evidence, new arguments, and new experiences."
Just to clarify
.
Unlike Pyrrhonistic scepticism, fallibilism does not imply the need
to abandon our knowledge—we needn't have logically
conclusive justifications for what we know. Rather,
it is an admission that, because empirical knowledge
can be revised by further observation, any of the
things we take as knowledge might possibly turn out
to be false.
Therefore through inquirey we clarify our ideas
in order to justify our beliefs, and therefore our actions.
