A systematic revolution of basic concepts begins with Einsteinian science. In the very detail of its concepts a relativism of the rational and the empirical is established. Science then undergoes what Nietzsche called 'an upheaval of concepts,' as if the earth, the universe, things, possessed a different structure from the fact that their explanation rests upon new foundations. All rational organization is 'shaken' when the fundamental concepts undergo dialectical transformation.
