The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘truth’ in sense 2 as: ‘conformity with facts, agreement with reality’, and thus embodies the correspondence theory of truth. This theory is usually supposed to have been originated by Aristotle, but Heidegger disputes this interpretation (GA21, 128ff; SZ, 214ff.). He locates its origins in Plato and its full flowering in the scholastic definition of truth as adaequatio rei/rerum et intellectus, ‘conformity of thing(s) and intellect’ (Albertus Magnus, Summa Theologiae, 1, 25, 2; Aquinas, de Veritate, 1,1).
