ABSTRACT

Gerd Brand, himself the author of an important criticism of Tugend-hat's interpretation of Husserlian phenomenology, maintains that no one concerned with Husserl's doctrine of truth can afford to neglect Tugendhat's The Concept of Truth in Husserl and Heidegger. 8 Tugendhat's work is equally important for any critical examination of Heidegger's account of truth. His account of this doctrine moves, to be sure, beyond the self-imposed confines of the present study, inasmuch as he also directs his analysis at work that appeared after 1930. Nevertheless, he is convinced that the essentials of Heidegger's ruminations on the problem of truth had already taken shape within the framework of Being and Time. 9
