That truth has always in some sense been a matter of justice can already be heard in the historical articulations we have inherited as the “correspondence theory of truth.” The origin of the correspondence theory has been explicitly traced to the statement from Aristotle's Metaphysics already cited in Chapter 1: “On the one hand, the false is to say [τὸ μὲν λέγειν] that what is, is not or that what is not, is; on the other hand, the true is to say that what is, is and what is not, is not, so that the one saying that it is or is not is either speaking the truth or is false.” We have already suggested that truth involves a saying that, in stretching out toward things, is capable of responding appropriately to the ways things ex-press themselves. ‘Ex-pression’ here means literally to press outward. It names the mode of presentation in which the unicity of things announces itself. Whatever else a correspondence theory of truth involves, at its core is an attuned ability to cor-respond to and with the expression of things. The etymology of the term ‘correspondence’ is instructive in this regard: ‘cor-’ is equivalent to ‘com-,’ which means “together,” and ‘respond’ is from the Latin respondēre, to answer. Correspondence describes the site of ontological encounter in which things respond together with one another.
