Abstract

There is no doubt that the speed of technical and technological development during the second half of the twentieth century was dizzying to say the least and that many of the scientific discoveries that signalled its evolutionary processuality have profoundly changed and rewritten the codes we use to read and interpret the relationship between man and external reality. A radical change that has largely contributed and continues to contribute to eliminating, one by one, all those prejudices of an anthropocentric nature which, we cannot deny, have characterized the narrative of the human adventure.
