Abstract: This editorial marks the launch of Natura Humanitas, an interdisciplinary journal established to explore the evolving relationship between humanity, arts, and the natural world. In an era of rapid technological advancement, we propose a comprehensive framework that integrates Social Sciences, Arts, and Natural Sciences. This journal serves as an international platform for scholars to bridge theoretical divides and foster a new dialogue on history, culture, and computational heritage.

Keywords: Interdisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, Natural Aesthetics, Computational Heritage, Social Sciences

1. The Vision: Bridging Disciplines

The founding of Natura Humanitas responds to a critical need in contemporary academia: the necessity to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. For too long, the Arts and the Sciences have been treated as separate entities. However, the complexities of the modern world require a unified approach.

Our mission is to provide a rigorous, open-access forum where the aesthetics of design can converse with the logic of natural sciences. We believe that the intersection of these fields is not merely a meeting point, but a fertile ground for innovation and new knowledge production.

2. Scope and Methodology

The journal adopts a broad and inclusive perspective. We welcome original research spanning the full spectrum of the Social Sciences and Arts, . We encourage methodologies that are historical, theoretical, and empirical.

Simultaneously, within the domain of Natural Sciences, we maintain a specialized focus on Computational Heritage. This unique niche addresses how digital technologies can preserve, interpret, and revitalize our natural and cultural legacies.

3. Looking Forward

As we present this inaugural issue, we invite scholars and scientists from around the globe to join this intellectual journey. Natura Humanitas is more than a repository of papers; it is a community dedicated to understanding the human condition through the lens of nature and technology.

We look forward to fostering a diverse academic environment that challenges existing paradigms and illuminates new paths for future research.
