不同的真理理论导致不同的法律方法论。符合论实在主义的哲学会导致哲学的和自然主义的法律发现，而融贯论则是规范分析和法律解释的基础。不少哲学家认为没有脱离融贯论的符合论（如普特南）。但同时，从真理的客观性维度讲，融贯论只能保障认知的客观性，而不能获得形而上的客观性。融贯论的结果必然是相对主义。因此，法律哲学的认识论选择必然是折中的，这个折中的认识论可以由普特南的内在实在主义来承担，而内在实在主义将最终引向包容的法律实证主义。%Each theory of truth entails a corresponding methodology. Realism under theory of correspondence points to the philosophical and naturalist discovery of law, whereas theory of coherence serves as the foundation of normative analysis and legal interpretation. A quite few philosophers believe the latter truth theo- ry always precedes the former one （such as Hilary Putnam）. Yet, from the perspective of objectivity, the the- ory of coherence can merely guarantee the cognizant objectivity but not the metaphysical one. The pure theory of coherence lays a road to the ineluctable relativism. Therefore, the epistemological choice of legal philosophy must be eclectic, and Putnam~ internal realism will be a qualified candidate to meet this requirement, which will lead us to the inclusive legal positivism.
