But what is fact? (1) The word "fact" is sometimes used to mean the same as "true proposition"
: thus we say,
"It's a fact that I was gone last week' that is, "
The septence I was gone last week' expresses a true proposition.
But this definition of "fact" will be of no use here:
A proposition is trye if it corresponds with a true proposition.
This gets us not one step ahead.
