Sumario:In this article, we present a description of the philosophy of elementary particles developed by Werner Heisenberg. In addition to describing his theses on the nature of the so-called elementary particles, we will also try to understand the German physicist's motives for sending to Heidegger's 70th birthday Festschrift a complicated text from the scientific point of view and with no direct relationship to the philosophy of the author of Sein und Zeit. Our hypothesis is that Heisenberg intended to perform a double movement. While positioning himself in favour of closer relations between science and philosophy, Heisenberg refused to accept some of Heidegger's negative positions in relation to science, which, according to the latter, was already dominated by the Gestell.
