| The question of truth is an important topic of Heidegger’s philosophy,and lots of scholars have passions for this question,and they pay attentions to it.But fewer of them can be rooted in Heidegger’s early works.As a result,they seldom prey out the origin and development of his early theory of truth.In spite of this,Heidegger also intentionally or unintentionally disclosed the source of his truth in Being and Time.Based on Heidegger’s early works,we find that the source of his early theory of truth comes from three aspects:Husserl’s phenomenology including evidence and category intuition,Heidegger’s factic life experience,and Aristotle’s sense of temporalizing.In order to find out the ins and outs of Heidegger’s early theory of truth,these three aspects must stand as basis.The essence of traditional truth is correspondence,which was confronted with some challenges in modern philosophy.First,John Locke set up a deep divide between external world and internal knowledge;second,George Berkeley eliminated external world so that truth fall into solipsism by means of proposition of "To be is to be perceived";third,David Hume canceled the existence of internal subject in order to eradicate the objectiveness of truth.Faced with these negative distress,Husserl did a lot to remedy the theory of truth,and he made outstanding achievements by his phenomenology.However,after seeing Husserl’s method through,Heidegger sharply found some defects in Husserl’s truth.And this forced Heidegger to rethink the original constitution of truth.Soon afterwards,Heidegger thought that the hermeneutics of facticity is the complete way to get rid of the plight of traditional truth.Based on the discussion above,Heidegger considered the original situation of factic life carefully.He gained a three-dimension structure of situation including relating sense,containing sense and actualizing sense.But in the lecture of winter semester 1920-21,Heidegger claimed that temporalizing sense was the fourth dimension of this structure.Temporalizing sense stems from Aristotle’s phronesis.In Heidegger’s opinion,phronesis means indicating the current situation of factic life,thereby Dasein could make a decision within conscience.By disclosing the situation,truth of life will take its course.Even though the question of being is the only one that Heidegger concerned about,early Heidegger still trapped in some problems on this question.Until he could study and teach beside Husserl,Heidegger gradually leaned the "see" of phenomenology and got a new idea of being.With the development and maturity of thought of being,Heidegger decided to change the subject of philosophy from "life"to "Dasein",so that truth could jump into it easily.Furthermore,Heidegger transferred truth into the depth of being from the situation of life by means of existentialism.This means that the transition of truth plays an important role in Heidegger’s philosophy,because this transition would not only make the sense of being apparent,but also free the content of truth unprecedentedly. |
