Synopsis

This collection of ten essays explores Martin Heidegger's concept of 'unconcealment,' tracing its evolution from his early writings to his later philosophical works. The book examines how this idea shapes his understanding of truth, language, and history. 'Unconcealment' posits that the nature of entities is contingent on the conditions allowing their manifestation, a concept that also extends to the disclosure of worlds themselves. The work argues that the unconcealment of a world is a pivotal historical event, with Heidegger believing in the emergence and disappearance of distinct worlds throughout history.
