There can be no disclosure without Dasein; but what is disclosed are entities as they are in themselves, and so as the entities they always were before Dasein encountered them and the entities they will continue to be thereafter.

Nonetheless, if disclosure is the existential condition of the possibility of truth, and disclosedness is a mode or aspect of the Being of Dasein, then the most primordial understanding of truth is existential: Dasein is ‘in the truth’. And, since Dasein is the kind of being whose Being is an issue for it, questions of authenticity and inauthenticity will apply to this mode of its Being as to all others. In other words, the being who alone can be said to be in the truth can also be in untruth; being capable of uncovering entities (including itself) as they are in themselves means that Dasein can fail to do so, can cover up the Being of beings. And which of those existential alternatives is that in which Dasein typically exists? Since we have had to overcome a strong philosophical tendency to treat the doubly derivative relation between present-at-hand propositions and states of affairs as the fundamental model for truth, in order to uncover a properly primordial understanding of it as rooted in disclosedness and existentiality, it seems that the inauthentic mode tends to prevail. But we need to examine the issue in more detail and in more generality. What is the everyday mode of Dasein’s disclosedness, its Being-there?
