description: Quest for Measure investigates the problem of truth within the context of German phenomenology. After tracing the evolution of the Husserlian concept of truth as evidence, the study examines how the untested speculative presuppositions inherent in Husserl's position necessitated a fundamental radicalization of the phenomenological method. Heidegger's aletheiological truth concept sought to provide the ontological underpinnings for Husserl's concept of evidence, but it too was not without certain speculative namely, an inexplicit understanding of Being as measure. The investigation culminates by unfolding the question of measure as a third dimension of the phenomenological problem of truth.
