Unfortunately Finder has no option to show hidden files. But if you open the Terminal and ask your computer nicely – it will display the hidden files. This is how you do it.
Open ~/Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
and press return. Then restart the Finder by either typing
killall Finder
and pressing return, or hold down Ctrl+Option while clicking on Finder icon in the Dock and select Relaunch.

To disable displaying the hidden files, just repeat the process above, only replace the word true with false.
