Martin Heidegger, Platos Doctrine Of Truth - Four Dwelling Places In The Allegory

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 the four "dwelling places" Heidegger identifies in the Allegory of the Cave - found in book 7 of Plato's Republic.

Each of the different dwelling places involves a different attitude towards truth or "unhiddness" (aletheia) in Heidegger's interpretation. The allegory charts the movement from one dwelling place to the next, and thereby from one conception of truth to another.
