Abstract
A second general theory of truth that arises as part of idealism holds that truth comes from the way our various beliefs, thoughts and judgments cohere with each other. Coherence theory can be accused of leaving out external reality, but it focuses on the types of truth that the correspondence theory often leaves out. It is not an all or nothing proposition;it is a theory that renders as many beliefs as coherent as possible and selects the best candidate among available theories.
