Między mędrca szkiełkiem i okiem a czuciem i wiarą. Rozważania o trzeciej kulturze

Abstract

The article is an immediate attempt to answer some questions referring to relationships between science and humanities in the digital age. The key question is as follows: does our experience and practice in all of the orientations of human activities: expressive, lucid, cognitive, and instrumental to others manifesting themselves as a part or in some areas entirely in the digital environment create more chance for the integration of our knowledge. The point of the paper is to indicate, that this environment allows us to achieve this purpose, i.e. building a cohesive knowledge about individuals, societies and nature. This would enable us to overcome an old division on two cultures coined by Charles Percy Snow and set up an interface between them leading to the “third culture” as defined by John Brockman.
