Heidegger's philosophy of science is controversial. Some regard him as a realist. One of their reasons is that in his view the subject matter of science is independent from scientific methods. And others regard him as a relativist. That is because, as they state, science is only possible in some general horizon of every period. Some see agreement between the first and the second Heidegger's philosophy of science, because they consider him to be a realist or a relativist throughout. And others see difference between them, for example, because he first stressed on "deworlding" and then denied that. Some claim for different reasons that what Thomas Kuhn called "paradigm," "normal science," and "scientific revolution" in his philosophy of science had been introduced by Heidegger, and others disagree with such claims. In this paper, we explain and analyze the views of five scholars about these topics.
