Abstract

[Nowadays, in the science-related community, an urgent need has emerged to clarify a crisis of the methodological paradigm known as “Scientific Method”. Such a crisis, arising from some recent striking experimental results achieved in experimental sciences, undermines the very foundations of knowledge, with potential serious consequences to the development of future technological applications. In this work, the crisis is analysed within an historical survey on the evolution of the Scientific Method. Furthermore, the role played by cross-hybridization between sciences and technological development is highlighted, throughout the last three centuries, as a possible factor in overcoming that crisis.]
