| description | In the paper, the author problematizes the attempt to aprioritize empirical sciences as well as the reduction of theoretical capacities of biology in the famous work by young Martin Heidegger Sein und Zeit. For this purpose, the relations between his Daseinsanalytik and the research findings of biology are examined. The author ties in with the criticism of Heidegger’s theses by Julius Kraft and Hans Albert. The aprioritization of everyday thinking as well as the claim of the a priori primacy of the lifeworld over the research findings of empirical sciences are rejected. Likewise, Heidegger’s thesis is rejected that biology does not give us an answer to the question, what is man, and that a crisis of fundamentals is allegedly at work in it. As Heidegger’s critique of biology may be misguided in terms of scientific theory, he may be suspected of a veiled anthropocentrism. |
