Coherence Theory is a philosophical concept that suggests the truth of a belief or statement is determined by its coherence with a set of other beliefs or statements. In this view, a belief is considered true if it fits well within a larger, consistent system of beliefs, rather than being verified by direct observation or empirical evidence. This theory contrasts with other theories of truth, such as Correspondence Theory, which asserts that truth is based on how accurately a statement reflects reality. Coherence Theory is often associated with Hegel and Spinoza, who emphasized the interconnectedness of ideas in understanding truth.
