This phrase by Martin Heidegger delivered in a speech in Freiburg is related to the role of technology in the world and its relationship with philosophy, issues that have been the subject of debate for many decades. Heidegger wanted to play down the phrase by explaining that “science does not move in the dimension of philosophy” and adding that he had never intended to demonize it. Ortega went a little further and with more vehemence. He unreservedly recognized technology for its ability to increase the freedom and independence of human beings, and science for the accuracy and rigor of the precision of scientific truths, but immediately added that the world needed a global interpretation and complete and that “the man of science, the mathematician, the scientist, is the one who cuts the integrity of our world”, because according to him the scientific truth is “exact but incomplete and penultimate” and “leaves without seeing the decisive questions”.
