Heidegger on Truth: Its Essence and its Fate (New Studies in Phenomenology and Hermeneutics)

Heidegger on Truth: Its Essence and its Fate (New Studies in Phenomenology and Hermeneutics)

Graeme Nicholson
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
"What is truth?" This famous question received a novel answer from Martin Heidegger, based on the methods of phenomenology. The 1930 address "On the Essence of Truth" takes us on a pathway of thinking that starts from the standard "correspondence theory of truth," and moves into larger discussions on truth, including the freedom of human conduct and choices. Heidegger on Truth is a close reading of a significant article by Heidegger entitled "On the Essence of Truth." The first part is a reading of the 1930 lecture which forms the basis of the article eventually published in 1943 and again, in revised form, in 1949. It is followed by a second part in which Nicolson compares the lecture with its subsequent versions eliciting the subsequent changes and detours of his thoughts on 'truth' over this period. The second part of the book also includes chapters on his interpretation of Plato, scholasticism and the tradition of modern rationalism. Accessibly written, this book is a very thorough examination of Heidegger's thoughts on the concept of "truth."
