José Ortega y Gasset in his essay About Galileo and Martin Heidegger in his treatise What is a Thing have formulated an interpretation of the origins of modern science and of the new scientific approach. For both of them it was Galileo who discovered the new method of natural science which in modernity (in the 17th and the 18th century) was formulated as a „mathematical project”. Both also depicted its core as the replacement of the old „depiction of facts” by the new way of „creating laws”. It should be noted that an analogous way of understanding natural sciences was formulated by Kant long before Ortega y Gasset and Heidegger, and the metaphor of „Copernicus revolution” can be found in the foreword to the second edition of Critique of Pure Reason. The article is an attempt to compare these two ways of understanding the essence of modern revolution in natural sciences.
