Chapter three summaries ENG 75 (TFY)
A fact is defined as something that actually exists, or something having objective reality that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation, Alternatively, "fact" may also indicate an allegation or stipulation of something that may or may not be a "true fact”, Fact may also indicate findings derived through a process of evaluation, including review of testimony, direct observation, or otherwise, as distinguishable from matters of inference or speculation.. Some versions of the correspondence theory of truth hold that what makes a sentence true is that it corresponds to a fact this theory presupposes the existence of an objective world. The Slingshot argument claims to show that all true statements stand for the same thing - the truth value true. If this argument holds, and facts are taken to be what true statements stand for, then we reach the counter-intuitive conclusion that there is only one fact "the truth", facts need to be able to have reliability, and possibility in order to determine facts.
