Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Haim Gordon (education, Ben Gurion U. of the Negev) and Rivca Gordon, an independent scholar, analyze Heidegger's interest in truth as Aletheia, or "unconcealment of beings," as posited by classical Greeks, and thence the idea that myths contain wisdom that can be reveled to enhance human existence. They describe the essence of truth in art and myth, Plato's doctrines as they emerge from the allegoric cave, Parmenides and the goddess that is Aletheia, truth and productive seeing, truth and wonder, and the essence of truth and becoming free. In their assessment the counter the work of Lyotard, MacIntyre, Rorty and Derrida, charging they are both shallow and disrespectful of the truth. They urge readers to seek out the blessing and gift of Aletheia in their readings of myths. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
