In a brief initial presentation, I underline the importance of Heidegger's thoughts and its acknowledgement by renowned thinkers and scientists. Then, I refer to Heidegger's thesis "science does not think" from the book What Calls for Thinking? or What is Called Thinking? In order to clarify this sentence, I use his lecture "Science and Reflection". Possible explanations of the phrase in question are put aside, and I postulate that is better to think in another direction in order to better understand the thesis. This new direction introduces the difference between calculative thinking and reflection (Besinnung, besinnliches Nachdenken: meditative thinking) and focuses on what Heidegger understands as: being, essence, sense, essence of modern technology (Ge-stell: enframing) and Fourfold (Geviert).
Keywords:
Heidegger, science, age of technology, calculative thinking, reflection, sense, being, essence, Ge-stell, Fourfold
