Abstract

The formula that gives expression to the “classical” Heidegger's conception of truth as unconcealedness is quite well known; however, the simple claim of the formula doesn’t make clear the dimension, sense and meaning of the concept of truth in Heidegger's work. Our aim in this paper is to examine, in a schematic way, that the “Being’s philosopher” understand by this concept, both in a part of “Logic: The Question of truth” and a part of “Being and Time”, following, beforehand, the relevant remarks about the traditional conception of truth which places this in judgment and understands it as adaequatio. Finally, as an epilogue, we contrast the Heidegger's conception with Husserl’s view, from a reading of the Prolegomena to Pure Logic, contained in his “Logical Investigations”.
