Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

This sounds more like pragmatist account w/ implicit Wittgenstein criticism, though I'm lacking the context (interested in the rest). Right now, I feel like "usually" is doing a lot of work here. When does correspondence theory *not* work in your view (or require metaphysics)?
Yes… some similarities with both PI Wittgenstein and pragmatism. But actually more like ethnomethodology. Correspondence theories are usually explicitly metaphysical nowadays. Cognitivist attempts to naturalize them conclusively failed around 1990. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/propositions/#nature …
Certainly, I don't think you can avoid "naturalism is a metaphysical claim" for most phil. arguments. I think we're talking about different situations here, though, hence the interest in "usually."
Ah, hmm, yes. I didn’t think “usually” through particularly; I was suggesting in a somewhat jokey way that correspondence theory is not actually wrong, just not specifically right.
