MARTIN HEIDEGGER VE BİLİM

ÖZET

Heidegger ne bilim ne de bir Doğa Bilimleri filozofuydu. Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker‟nın da çok iyi belirttiği gibi, “bilim, Heidegger düşüncesi için ne bir başlangıç ne de amaçtı”1 . Von Weizsäcker‟ya göre, söz konusu durum daha çok karşılıklı bir yanlış anlaşılmadan ibaret: “Doğa Bilimleri, Heidegger‟in ona atfettiğini şimdiye kadar anlamış değil. Tersine, bana öyle geliyor ki, Heidegger‟in de Doğa Bilimlerine, onların temeline inecek kadar düşünmeye hakim değildi ”2 . Belki de bunu bir yanlış anlaşılmadan çok, Heidegger‟in düşünce ve bilimi radikal şekilde yeniden tanımlama çabası olarak tanımlamak daha yerinde olur.

Anahtar sözcükler: Martin Heidegger, bilim filozofu, düşüncenin radikal belirlenimi.

ABSTRACT

Heidegger wasn‟t a philosopher of science, nor a philosopher of natural science. In Carl R chard von We zsäcker‟s remark, science in Heidegger‟s opinion wasn‟t “the source nor the objective of his thinking”. In fact, accord ng to We zsäcker, the point is in mutual misunderstanding. “Until now the science hasn‟t understood what Heidegger meant to say to it, while on the other hand, as it seems to me, Heidegger couldn‟t thoroughly think the nature science through.” Maybe it would be more to the point to say that it wasn‟t just about misunderstanding, but more about Heidegger‟s effort to define thinking and science in a radically new approach. The radicalism of his endeavor is, maybe, best shown in his insulting sentence (the way Heidegger names it): “Science doesn‟t think.” That doesn‟t mean only that there‟s a gap between thinking and sci- ence, but also that this gap is unsurmountable. Thus, the point isn‟t in any kind of an objective, but in “establishing the inner structure of science: that in its essence it is to be, on one level, in reference to what philosophy thinks, but in itself is not concerned about what it is supposed to think and forgets about it”.

Keywords: Martin Heidegger, philosopher of science, radical determination of thinking.
