Can man still encounter himself?

Abstract

This paper discuss the science conception in Heidegger and Heisenberg’s later thoughts. Both, the philosopher and the physicist, suggest the scientific-technical world demands a rethinking of man’s position towards the things, which a men could not perform and should be steered based on a more powerful and original truth instance. However, while Heisenberg believes science could reach what he calls “the inner order of the world”, Heideggersupports that science is an un-essential way of thinking inasmuch as it overlooks its own essence bypassing the so-called “truth of being”. This speech ends with a question related to whether the dehumanization of the science performed by Heidegger and Heisenberg, despite their depth and accurate diagnosis of the technological world, rules out a more fruitful dialogue between science and philosophy or not.
