Martin Heidegger - On the Essence of Truth

Martin Heidegger was a 20th century German philosopher who concerned himself almost exclusively with the question of 'Being' his whole life.
Being and Time is his most celebrated work and, while his later (from about the mid-thirties) philosophical writings and lectures took a slightly different turn, they are just as, if not more, important than his earlier work.
This new video series will look at Heidegger's work post-Being and Time as he tries to fathom the mystery that is Being itself.

That's a great video, thanks you a lot!
I've a little question, I've seen that his work named "On the Essence of Truth" seems based on Plato's allegory of the cave, so do I need to have some deep knowledge of certain aspect of Plato's philosophy in order to be able to grasp this text?
