mettre en évidence [ETEM  ]

1. The primary signification of “assertion” is “pointing out” [Aufzeigen]. In this we adhere to the primordial meaning of logos as apophasis – letting an entity be seen from itself. In the assertion ‘The hammer is too heavy’, what is discovered for sight is not a ‘meaning’, but an entity in the way that it is ready-to-hand. Even if this entity is not close enough to be grasped and ‘seen’, the pointing-out has in view the entity itself and not, let us say, a mere “representation” [Vorstellung] of it – neither something ‘merely represented’ nor the psychical condition in which the person who makes the assertion “represents” it.
