Abstract
Herein, we present a commented translation of an epistolary exchange between Werner Heisenberg and Martin Heidegger: a letter dated October 1953, which results important in that it is closely related to the lecture that Heisenberg would deliver a few months later and which would later appear to be referred to by Heidegger in The Question Concerning Technology (Die Frage nach der Technik) (1954). This letter, although very brief, is dense in references to issues that would appear soon after in The Question Concerning Technology; questions such as the danger of the scientific aspects of the world being considered as the only ones, that "dangerous one-sidedness" (gefährlichen Einseitigkeit). Of the very few references in The Question Concerning Technology, the two references to Heisenberg are highlighted that text. It is, therefore, interesting to show that before the publication of The Question Concerning Technology, Heidegger had debated these questions with the best of the scientific community of his space and time.
