Resumo

Conflicts between science and its cultural context have been and are still frequent, especially those arising from an alleged incompatibility between scientific and humanistic cultures. A recent episode of these conflicts can be found in the so called science wars, in which the place and the social prestige of science with respect to humanistic culture have been discussed, and some proposals to overcome the traditional antagonism between them have been outlined. In this paper, I address this last matter and, returning to some ideas of Otto Neurath about the unity of science, I conclude that the coexistence and understanding between science and humanities should be based on their collaboration in the solution of social problems.
