This Core Concept video focuses on Martin Heidegger's essay "Plato's Doctrine of Truth" (found in the book, Pathmarks) and discusses 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).
