Heidegger argues that the original essence of truth is aletheia, the clearing of the unconcealment of Being and that, which sustains Being. Aletheia is a coming to presence such that that-being and what-being
occur at the same time. The history of metaphysics is founded on the separation of that-being and what-being or of Being and Becoming. The culmination of metaphysics occurs when this opposition is overcome, specifically when Nietzsche inverts Platonism and makes Becoming into
the "vital"[N3, p172] sphere. However, in Nietzsche's philosophy there it is only an illusion that Being and Becoming return to an original unity.
