Pointing to the limitations of specialization knowledge of humanistic type, which inevitably leads to the trivialization of knowledge of man as a social being by defining culture, the author presents the main benefits flowing from the application of the sciences of culture perspectives integrated. Thus, such that, on the one hand enable the production of comprehensive knowledge about man, on the other hand contribute to bridging the differences between institutional singled teachings of the culture, allowing humanists cooperation and communication.
