Della congenialità di scienza e filosofia

Abstract

On Science and Philosophy Connection Science and philosophy sometimes fail to dialogue. This essay sheds some light on this controversial issue by considering some historical instances of their complicated relationship, since the mid-nineteenth century. We will examine intellectual trends, training processes, and most of all, the increasing knowledge we are nowadays witnessing. As the last years suggest, these difficulties are not insurmountable, if only the connection between science and philosophy is taken into consideration. This connection deals not only with their common origin, but also with the process, they are always implicated in, of continuous reborn and reciprocal regeneration. This perspective suggests us to individuate new professional figures standing on the frontier between science and philosophy. These figures appear to be indispensable to construe a new koiné and thereby preserve a community which is devoted to knowledge and pure science.
