Ignoring science and Western tradition traps Heidegger inside the metaphysics he attacked.
Evidence
Adorno’s analysis of Heidegger can be summed up as follows: behind his ontology there stood, objectively, his interest in a thinking qualitatively different from science, from the philosophy of science and from logic, one that went to what was essential, that broke free of immanent consciousness. Ignoring not only the sciences but the whole of the Western tradition since Plato caused Heidegger to remain too caught up in traditional metaphysics, from which only self-reflection could bring release. Concrete philosophy, according to Adorno, would be `complete, unreduced experience in the medium of conceptual reflection’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 628
