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.
