Talk with Piero Boitani, philologist and essayist, Accademico dei Lincei
Science and humanism: science as history and myth. Science is not a sectoral topic but has always been a vision of the unity of life. An exemplary and unprecedented case is the one of Leopardi. Piero Boitani’s talk traces the connections between science and spirit, explaining how, in order for the sky to be a scientific research field, it must still remain a dream or a terror too, it must be connected to poetry, a human desire to be satisfied.
