Heidegger's task here is to reassert the question of the essence of truth, not as a problem or as a matter of logic, but precisely as a genuine philosophical question, in fact the one basic question of philosophy. Thus, this course is about the essence of truth and the essence of philosophy. On both sides Heidegger draws extensively upon the ancient Greeks, on their understanding of truth as <i>aletheia</i> and their determination of the beginning of philosophy as the disposition of wonder.
