Heidegger's discourse on Heraclitus's concepts of aletheia and logos

This paper maintains that the work of Heidegger on Heraclitus' fragments 50 on logos and 16 on aletheia, represent a viable alternative to the "Metaphysics" of Occident Thinking in the early 20th century, which has culminated in the mindset of the our technological age. It further explores an alternative aspiration for language and methodology that is able to serve as a viable alternative for the exploration of Heraclitus' texts, given their fragmentary format and obscure nature. The effort maintains that the disclosedness of aletheia as truth is an alternative perspective to the mainstay of considering the truth-value of language solely in the correlation between the idea and the concept. Furthermore an understanding of logos broadens the subjective experience of language beyond the correlation between the word and the idea, to a more fundamental experience of being found in inter-subjectivity and universality.
