Philosophical investigation about truth don't inquiry what are the contents of truth, but inquiry why truth to be truth and how truth to be truth. Different philosophy systems answer these questions in their own ways, and have their own opinions. Heidegger's thought about truth departed from traditional epistemology and analytic philosophy. He believed that truth involved wider culture phenomena, and not only science.Heidegger distinguished Being from entities. He believed we should raise anew the question of the meaning of Being. The history of philosophy had forgotten the question since Plato. And the history of inquiring truth is about the truth of the totality of entities. But Heidegger began to inquiry the truth of Being. In the reflection of history, we can understand that the nature of truth is freedom. The freedom of truth is thinking originally. It appears as aletheia or clarification. The process of inquiring of truth always fights between clarification and obscurity. Art and poem are the way producing truth originally, but science isn't. Language is the house of Being and it is housing the truth also. The extent of language help us to understand the meaning of Being. Poetic language explicates truth intuitively. Science and technology can hinder people contemplate freely. In the time of technology, people are losing the ability of contemplating. Heidegger worried about it. In his philosophy, he concerned about how human beings led their lives. He appreciated the career of philosophy and advocated people to poetically build and dwell upon it.The treatise is organized organically. It integrates the inquiry of Being and the inquiry of truth. It analyses different ways of producing truth. It is the writer's understanding of Heidegger.
