viver na verdade, live in the truth

This formulation serves to link this commentary by Heidegger on the four senses of truth in the Logical Investigations (VI, §39)—the fourth is taken into account tacitly in the following subsection—with his own sense of truth in Being and Time  . To “live in the truth” here means to live in the state of identity and continuity between the signified and the intuited, a state which we continually experience but do not   grasp. This is indicative of what it means “to be in the truth” (Being and Time, H. 221) without knowing it thematically, whereby we understand the structures of our world as ‘self-evident,’ as a matter ‘of course’ in a straightforward living of them without considering them thematically. (Cf. my “Heidegger (1907-27); The Transformation of the Categorial,” in Hugh J. Silverman, John Sallis  , and Thomas M. Seebohm, eds., Continental Philosophy in America [Pittsburgh: Duquesne University Press, 1983], pp. 165-188, esp. p. 178.) The formula recurs in the very next semester’s course on Logik  : Die Frage   nach der Wahrheit   (op. cit., p. 143) but now with regard to the prepredicative structures of handy things in whose disclosure “we already live.” The habitual realm of ‘static unions’ of which Husserl   speaks on the basis of acts of naming and predication is thus shifted to the prepredicative acts (comportments) of “having to do with” things which fulfill their expectations in their functions and so establish a practical network of stable signifying relations involving ‘for,’ ‘in order to,’ and ‘for the sake of.’ [Worumwillen  ] [Kisiel  ; GA20TK:52]
