Yes, I agree. But which is primary: truth as correctness or truth as
disclosure? I don't think Heidegger has settled the question; he's just
highlighted it in a new way. Truth as disclosure is nothing other than
truth as being, no? Why is this the primary sense of truth? Isn't it
derivative as Aquinas argues?
