  Russell (1912) presented a third classic objection to the coherence theory of truth. According to this objection, any talk about coherence presupposes the truth of the laws of logic. For example, Russell argues, to say that two propositions cohere with each other is to presuppose the truth of the law of non-contradiction. In this case, coherentism has no account of the truth of law of non-contradiction. If, however, the coherence theorist holds that the truth of the law of non-contradiction depends on its coherence with a system of beliefs, and it were supposed to be false, then propositions cannot cohere or fail to cohere. In this case, the coherence theory of truth completely breaks down since propositions cannot cohere with each other.
