Philosophy concept

Orthotes (Greek: ὀρθότης “rightness”) is a concept defined by Martin Heidegger as “an eye’s correctness” or, the passage from the physical eyes to the eyes of the intellect.[1] In his essay, “The End of Philosophy and the Task of Thinking,” Heidegger distinguishes “orthotes” from his concept of “Aletheia” (“unconcealment”), describing it as “the correctness of representations and statements.”[2]
