L'ateo e il papa: con Piergiorgio Odifreddi | Il Gomitolo Atomico #25

Does it still make sense to divide culture into the humanities and sciences? Does anyone really think that science and literature, or mathematics and art, have nothing in common? We discuss this with the renowned mathematician, logician, and popularizer Piergiorgio Odifreddi, who will recount some of his most extraordinary encounters with scientists, writers, and even a pope! We'll also discuss his new book, "Close Encounters Between Two Cultures" (Raffaello Cortina Editore): https://amzn.to/4mNyu6p The Atomic Question, with Giulio Niccolò Carlone, and the Atomic Book column are also back.
