Detailed explanation-1: -The traditional conception of truth, according to Heidegger, is adequation which is understood as exactness of knowledge. This idea of truth is the result of rationalistic and subjectivistic thought. Truth is, therefore, the adequation of subjective knowledge with the essence of beings.
