Conclusions

We have to realize one great contemporary danger: that the sciences tend to mechanize the humanities and make them appear obsolete, much more than the humanities can humanize the physical sciences (Stanlis). It would be a great error if we believed that our lives could be complete without the fine arts and humanities. I am convinced that a better understanding of humanistic culture improves our behaviour and character, and therefore it contributes greatly to the progress of our profession.
