Onderwerp: Heidegger the Physicist - The Sun revolves Round the Earth?


Just been reading: Epistemology and Politics by Mauricio Schoijet - came 
across this: 
Heidegger the Physicist - The Sun Revolves Round the Earth?

About the German philosopher Martin Heidegger it is quite known that he was 
an active Nazi, but it is less known that he was a reckless relativist in the 
philosophy of science. Heidegger gave a lecture in 1938 ("Image of the World") 
in which he claimed that Galileo's theory was no more true than that of 
Aristotle (Heidegger, 1960, quoted by Sebreli, 1991), as both were based in 
different forms of seeing and interrogating the natural phenomena. Sebreli states that 
in this text Heidegger endorses in a disguised way the theory of a German 
philosopher Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), of a plurality of sciences based on a 
supposed incommunicability of cultures. I do not know enough of Heidegger's 
biography, but I would bet that he was an ignoramus concerning physics. 


  Heisenberg and F. von Weizsaecker were of a different opinion.

  Do you have some sort of obsessive neurosis, which makes you repeat
  slander and falsity? The world has nothing to do with it, so it's only
  your problem. A Holzweg of subjectivity. You even claimed the nothing,
  you will disappear into, that's .... not really funny no.

  cheers
