About The Essence of Truth
The Essence of Truth is an examination of the most fundamental theme in Heidegger`s philosophy: the difference between truth as `the unhiddenness of beings` and truth as `the correctness of propositions`. Based on a course of lectures delivered at the University of Freiburg in 1932, the book presents Heidegger`s original analysis of Plato`s philosophy and represents an important discussion of a fundamental subject of philosophy through the ages.
