Blanshard argues that every so-called “fact” consists of beliefs you already have. So if you try to check whether a new belief “corresponds” to a fact, you will be checking whether the new belief corresponds to beliefs you already have. And checking whether a new belief corresponds to beliefs you already have is the same as checking whether the new belief “coheres” with the beliefs you already have. So in the end, if you try to check whether a new belief is true, you will be checking whether it coheres with beliefs one already has. Is this argument of Blanshard valid? Is it sound? Explain why or why not.
