(2015) The phenomenological critique of mathematisation and the question of responsibility, Dordrecht, Springer.
In my paper, I do not follow the well-known story of how Husserl wanted to solve the crisis of mankind by his transcendental phenomenology. Neither do I analyse Heidegger 's views on the danger of science and technology. Rather, I examine a new book by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking and his colleague Leonard Mlodinow, to see how they reflect on this situation today. Although I accept their method of a "model-dependent realism", I cannot agree with their arrogant formulation of a purely deterministic physical concept of the universe, and I strongly refute their conviction that human beings are merely deterministic robots without free will .
