La compartimentazione e frammentazione delle conoscenze in dottrine e discipline slegate una dall’altra hanno smembrato il tessuto della realtà, facendone perdere il senso complessivo. In questo abbandono dell’umanesimo, sono prevalse sempre di più le specializzazioni che hanno limitato e circoscritto le esperienze complessive, la personale capacità di giudicare e la Bildung stessa. Questo fenomeno ha prodotto conseguenze sintomatiche non solo nella sfera accademica e intellettuale, ma anche nella percezione comune del mondo e nel modo in cui la società struttura e comprende il sapere con un’enorme crescita delle conoscenze in termini puramente quantitativi e oggettivi, privandoci di una visione unitaria e integrata della realtà non più percepita come un tutto, ma come un mosaico di piccoli frammenti tutti scollegati tra di loro.

Abstract
The compartmentalisation and fragmentation of knowledge into doctrines and disciplines disconnected from one another have fractured the fabric of reality, undermining our ability to grasp its overall meaning. With the decline of the humanistic ideal, increasing specialisation has progressively narrowed the scope of experience, limiting individual capacities for judgement and, ultimately, the very notion of Bildung. This phenomenon has had significant consequences not only within the academic and intellectual spheres, but also for the way the world is commonly perceived and for how society structures and understands knowledge. The enormous growth of knowledge in purely quantitative and objective terms has deprived us of a unified and integrated vision of reality, which is no longer perceived as an interconnected whole but rather as a mosaic of small, mutually disconnected fragments.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
