Summary: The question of science
Comment: This book attempts to bring a discussion of Heidegger's philosophy to bear on current discussions in analytic philosophy. Heidegger's thoughts are contrasted with Lakatos, Kuhn and others showing many of the similarities (and differences) there are between them. Many of the issues found in a basic philosophy of science text are also found here, such as: Underdetermination (basically the idea that the truth of no one theory can be determined by the data or by experiment), realism and antirealism, the nature of theories etc. -- what is emphasized most is the metaphysical and epistemological issues present in modern science. Of course, not all problems in the philosophy of science are found in Heidegger, but enough, apparently, to consider him a philosopher of science.

The book also has a lot to say about our current modern age of scientific-technological ways of 'revealing' -- the discussion revolves around the modern ages concern with beings; making void all internal significance. The book is very interesting and has a lot more to it than the bits I've mentioned. The potential reader of this book might want to know that Greek expressions are used fairly frequently.
