Abstract
Already Leibniz knew it: our science is a syntactic science, expressed by algebraic, logic, algorithmic signs. In addition, today our teenagers and young people are digital natives and we live immersed in the realm of signs. But we do not know which kind of things they are, so we don’t know what our science is built on and which kind of world we are facing. ‘Sign’ is a very old term, something of that kind was already well known in Greek science, . But are the algebraic signs like those or are something else? Why are they paradoxically so indigestible even to our digital native students? I’ll try to deliver a short guide to the scouting of that mysterious realm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
