In this lecture course presented in 1937-38, Heidegger's task is to reassert the question of the essence of truth, not as a problem of logic, but precisely as the basic question of philosophy. These lectures were given at the time that Heidegger was composing Beiträge zur Philosophie, and provides the single best introduction to that complex and crucial text.

". . . well suited to the task of beckoning the novice onto the path of Heidegger's most arduous thought. . . . a useful introduction to the thought of one of our most original thinkers."--International Studies in Philosophy
