    Rick:

    I appreciate your post and thanks for the website reference. It looks
    like a good place for me to start. Others have noted that Russell is a
    famous proponent of correspondence theory. After I review these I may
    have more questions for the forum. I am also interested in the
    distinction one makes in separating philosophical arguments from
    psychological arguments in this regard.

    No specific books jump to mind (maybe something by Bertrand Russell),
    but
    you could try something like this for starters....
