An outline of the development of Heidegger’s view of science

The paper is a reflection on the question of whether there is continuity within Heidegger’swork in his conception of science. I take the view that science is the topic in whichHeidegger’s philosophizing shows the least divergence during his active philosophicalactivity. I gradually analyze Heidegger’s seminal texts in which there are a number ofreferences, reflections, and allusions to the theme of science. I have gone through selectedtexts both after the turn and before the turn. The study is, among other things, an attemptto refute the oft-pertracted claim that Heidegger can be considered an anti-scientificphilosopher. I believe that the main differences in Heidegger lie in the different grasp of themeaning of philosophy or thinking after the turn. The common features lie above all in theretention of a critical view of science, in Heidegger’s unflagging interest in the subject ofscience, in his understanding of science as a mathematical science, and in his critique ofmediation in science. I think that the field of science is a topic in Heidegger in which histhought shows signs of continuity.
