''Truth is correspondece to reality'' But isn't the question of reality the
underlying issue? If it is, then who's reality? (note: Gettier Problem.)
*There is only one objective reality. Of which we are all a part, and none
have ownership. Subjective perception is an entirely different question. Our
various individual models of reality are in part true, corresponding to
reality, and in part false and erroneous.
