From Epistemology to Ontology:On Heidegger's Critique and"Transformation"of Hegel's Conception of Truth
Traditional Western philosophy,standing on the epistemological standpoint,conceives of philosophy as an activity of seeking knowledge.A representative figure,Hegel,centers his philoso-phy around the"Idea,"employing"speculation"as its method and"knowledge"as its form,thereby constructing a theory of truth under the speculative philosophical perspective that is grounded in episte-mology.Heidegger critiques the foundations of traditional Western metaphysics,endeavoring to lay down an ontological basis for truth.While Hegel's concern was whether truth can"correspond"with ob-jects,Heidegger posits that truth lies in how beings themselves uncover the veils over"Being."In Hei-deggerian philosophy,truth(alētheia)is not propositional truth in the conventional sense,nor is it truth as correspondence;rather,it is truth of Being.To attain truth is to achieve an understanding of Being it-self,the"manifestation"of the meaning of existence—a state of unconcealment as clarity.
