Martin Heidegger, Platos Doctrine Of Truth - Truth As Aletheia And As Orthotes - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses the 20th century philosopher, Martin Heidegger, and focuses on his essay "Plato's Doctrine of Truth" found in the book, Pathmarks
Heidegger distinguishes between two basic conceptions of truth. The more primary - and older - conception of truth is of aletheia or unhiddenness. The newer conception of truth - associated with Plato - makes truth a matter of orthotes, or correctness. This correctness has to do with correspondence between the ideas or forms - which allow individual things to be what they are - and human perception, cognition, or language.
