Abstract
The relation between the phenomenological tradition on the one hand, and, on the other, the philosophical reflection on science in general, and of the natural sciences in particular, constitutes an important strand in the vicissitudes of contemporary philosophy. Martin Heidegger believed that the advent of modern technology was a more fundamental phenomenon than the emergence of modern science after the Renaissance, to the point that, reversing Edmund Husserl’s more traditional judgment on the matter, he claimed that the latter was a consequence of the former. Heidegger acknowledged that mathematical physics arose before what author consider to be modern technology. In contrast, philosophy of science does not see itself as an integral part of an all-encompassing philosophy conceived in turn as a science. By the same token, philosophers of science do not even dream of turning the sciences into branches of their own philosophical activity.
