The nature of truth....

Truth is its own rai·son d'ê·tre.....

Cause and effect......

It does not rest 

With in the domain of

Any ( single ) species.

        *             *              *              *             *

The correspondence theory is often traced back to

Aristotle's  
definition of truth.

(Metaphysics 1011b25):

“To say of what is that it is not, or of 

what is not that it is, is false,

while to say of what is that it is, and of 

what is not that it is not, is true”
            *           *           *            *            *
Since truth is objective, our knowledge of 
true propositions must be about real things. 
According to Plato, these real things are Forms. 
Their nature is such that the only mode by which 
we can know them is rationality.
