Heidegger and Plato: the concept of truth

This article interferes into the discussion regarding the relationship between the philosophies of Heidegger and Plato. It argues for the thesis that in the corpus of Platonic dialogues it is possible to find a concept of truth which corresponds to the Heideggerian one. First, it is shown, that both Plato and Heidegger similarly describe the genesis of false language and it’s connectedness with un-truth. Secondly, it is shown that both Plato and Heidegger understand truth – to use a Heideggerian concept – as unconcealedness with concealedness belonging to it.
