SUMMARY

C.P. Snow’s The Two Cultures is a basic document. His fondamental thesis is that the breakdown of communication between the sciences and the humanities.
Today the scientific vision is, in a certain way, preponderant: humanists would do well to understand, acknowledge and incorporate the results of the scientific process.
In 1940’s Alan Turing conceived of a universal computer machine. At the time this new computer was a novel idea but today it is a common place: almost every day we use P.C. for our activities (working or freee time…).
We can use an image that, even if simplisistic, it is at the same time really effective: hardware and software must be connected in the computer as it happens in the human being where there is a (more complex) connection between the body (=the hardware) and the mind or conscious (=the software).
