 In a nutshell, then, the identity theorist’s case against the correspondence theory is that, when the truth-making relation is conceived as originating in a worldly fact (or similar) and having as its other relatum a true sentence, the claim that this relation is one of correspondence cannot be made out; if, on the other hand, the relevant relation targets a proposition (or thought), then that relation must be held to be one of identity, not correspondence.
