Submitted on Reddit: How does Heidegger define meaning?
 
Comments:
We have the examples of his Greek studies, in particular as related to aletheia, that the meaning of words depends on the context in which they are used. (Recall the debate he had with some Greek authority about a particular Greek word, where they disagreed? That's when I decided that I could not be a scholar.)

I understand aletheia to be the meaning of meaning. It is Being showing itself to us.
