The clearing to get to the truth

11 Jan

We mentioned in a post this week that the term find light is aClareiracommonplace in philosophy, but what are the main differences between Heidegger’s glade, and go to light in Plato’s Myth of the Cave, or the Idea according to Immanuel Kant’s thinking?
One can read in Heidegger about Plato, one of the pillars of Western thought about truth:
“Truth is no more, as non-veiling, the fundamental trait of being itself; but becomes exact by reason of its enslavement to the Idea, it is henceforth the distinctive feature of the knowledge of the being. Since then there is an effort for “truth” in the sense of the accuracy of the look and its direction. Since then, all the fundamental positions taken regarding the being, the obtaining of a correct look for the Idea become decisive. ” (HEIDEGGER, Plato’s doctrine on truth, s / n, p.10).
Long before any of the digital apparatuses, Heidegger had already stated that the eagerness in the modern impetus to make the object available is what “destroys every vision than the disincentive makes itself happen, and thus in principle endangers any relationship with the essence of truth “(Heidegger, 2007).
The clearest and most responsible critique of Kant in Heidegger (criticism of idealism is often lost in objectivism or subjectivism), it is the critique of Transcendental Idealism that we are between the phenomenon and what is grasped by the human faculties as a thing-in- which in essence would be unattainable by reason, hence the separation between objects and subjects in the “Idea.”
Heidegger develops in Being and Time a separation between the concepts of “appearance” (Erscheinung) and phenomenon, where the former is not shown and the second is the self-showing itself of this something, no doubt coming from his master Edmund Husserl.
This is a fundamental passage in Heidegger’s thought, where Dasein is seen as the contact with the surrounding entities giving meaning to the ontic plane of existence, thus: “Phenomenology is the way of access and the mode of verification for to determine what should be the theme of the ontology.

Ontology is only possible as phenomenology. “(Heidegger, 2008, p.75)
Phenomenology is fundamental to the ontology and the ontology is the opening of the clearing.
