I agree, more needs to be said; and I think it can be said. However, I
will here just rest content with pointing out a seemingly neglected
thing. As long as epistemological questions about the veridicality of
everyday perception are bracketed, then everyday life supplies us with
very good examples of the essence the correspondence theory of truth. We
simply check statmentents such as 'the cat is on the mat', 'it is
raining', 'there's beer in the fridge', etc. against what we perceive.
If what we pereceive *corresponds* to the statement, we regard the
statement as true - otherwise not. Don't mix semantic questions such as
'what is the correspondence theory of truth saying?' with
epistemological questions such as 'how do we know that a certain
statement is true?'. (02)
Best,
