Martin Heidegger, Platos Doctrine Of Truth - Education And Truth - 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

Here we examine what Heidegger takes the Allegory of the Cave - found in book 7 of Plato's Republic - to be about.

Plato construes the allegory as a teaching about the nature or essence of education (paideia), but Heidegger stresses that the allegory also represents a very important turning point in human conceptions about the essence of truth (aletheia).
