THE ESSENCE OF TRUTH
Vom Wesen der Wahrheit, 1943.
MARTIN HEIDEGGER, 1889-1976.
In their desire to break the traditional idealism, Heidegger devoted to the project of giving due importance to the idea of "truth of the thing." Therefore, describes the operation of knowledge. Assumes that in the process of knowledge, we are "open" to anything, but this attitude is only possible because our behavior in general is defined by the notion of "openness". Openness is confused, actually, with freedom itself, which "reveals" the thing. Now if the thing is, therefore, unveiled, is because, before, were veiled, disguised, just as the Self is how Heidegger leads us to understand what the role of philosophy, and what gives value deep namely, to reveal ourselves, by realizing the concealment of Being
So the question arises as to what is the truth. The truth is understood in two ways. It's "real" gold as something that is in line with what we seek when we think of gold. But it is also "true" means that a statement or express the thing we think. The truth is every time "in agreement": it is "conformity" or fairness (Richtigkeit). In general, the "letting-be" can be thought of as both revelation and as concealment. But Being as existing total is obnubilated, hidden, not revealed. This will prevent clouding the truth to unveil. Every human reality is dominated by this non-truth. However, this is not a deprivation of Being, but the presumption of disclosure, because the truth is that the unveiling of Being This means that the horizon is the clouding of the necessary condition, or unveiling the truth. But the concealment itself is concealed. That is why Heidegger speaks of the "oblivion of Being." Thus the question of truth refers to the question of Being Radicalizing herself, she becomes the "truth of the Essence", the advent of Being in Dasein. The pamphlet ends with the observation that Heidegger's thought "sense of Being "or the" truth of Being "was not developed there. It is worth remembering that it is necessary that the mistake covering everything we do. Since you cut your relationship with the mystery, the mistake is considered by the philosopher as antiessência fundamental: he is indeed inauthentic. However, forgotten, the mystery is by no means eliminated. In the Introduction to Metaphysics, man comes to nothing, left him relearn that nothing is the veil of Being
