eng	Humanity in the Era of Specialized Knowledge and Science	Since the end of 19th century, we have witnessed the immense success of the natural sciences, hand in hand with the enormous development of technology. Together, these have given rise to the fundamental civilizing transformation of the world around us, and of our attitude towards it. However, the unchallengeable fruitfulness of science and technology has also begun to reveal its dark side. In spite of various reservations about specialized knowledge and scientific or technological advances, rigorously and critically founded natural sciences and humanities provide us with forceful instruments for the well-founded explanation and description of numberless phenomena. Aims of the conference: To address cross-disciplinary scientists who are erudite in both the natural sciences and the arts, and who can step out from behind the methodology or philosophy of science in the 20th century and target a range of subsequent problems: The scope and limits of scientific disciplines in offering comprehensive descriptions of, or knowledge about, nature and life. The scope and limits of professionals educated in the natural sciences and the arts in their research and understanding of phenomena. The scope and limits of traditional claims to universal knowledge and their relation to the whole within specialized education at universities. The scope and limits of historical-philosophical reflections in scientific training and research.	Science;Knowledge;Humanity
