aletheia
Greek philosophical truth
Aletheia is a Greek word for truth, used in philosophy to emphasize truth as unconcealment or disclosure—the revealing of what was hidden.
Heidegger made the term central to his work, contrasting this sense of truth-as-revelation with truth as mere correctness of statements.
The word appears in theological and philosophical contexts where the nature of truth itself is under discussion.
