[[Aletheia]] (Ancient Greek: [[ἀλήθεια]]) is truth or disclosure in philosophy. It was used in Ancient Greek philosophy and revived in the 20th century by the philosopher Martin Heidegger. | |||
Aletheia is variously translated as "[[unconcealedness]]", "[[disclosure]]", "[[revealing]]", or "[[unclosedness]]". It is also sometimes treated as "truth", but Heidegger himself later argued against this. The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality. It is the opposite of lethe, which literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment" according to Pindar's First Olympian Ode. | |||
[[Aletheia]], the name of a Greek [[goddess]] (also known as [[Veritas]], the Roman goddess of truth), is the daughter of [[Zeus]], while [[Aesop]]'s Fables state she was crafted by [[Prometheus]]. | |||
