“Unconcealment” is heidegger’s preferred (and rather literal) rendering of the Greek ἀλήθεια (), which is usually translated as “truth.” Heidegger maintains that both our ordinary notion of truth as rightness or correctness (Richtigkeit) and the traditional conception of truth as agreement or correspondence (Übereinstimmung) presuppose what he believes the Archaic Greek poets and pre-Socratic thinkers understood by ἀλήθεια, namely, the uncovering of entities, the disclosedness of Dasein, and the unconcealment of being (Sein).
