Abstract

This paper maintains that Heidegger’s thought offers a good theoretical basis for a productive comparison between science and philosophy. After examining the ‘consubstantiality’ between philosophy and science, which emerges in the first part of the conference “Phenomenology and Theology”, the hypothesis will be tested that philosophy is the «ontological corrective» of physics. The idea of time as an illusion, developed by the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, appears to be perfectly understandable in the Heideggerian framework.
