Summary/Abstract: The unity and the diversity of cultures is a major and challenging topic for modern philosophical thinking. On this ground, different schools of thought and explanatory models are facing each other. Of the multitude of factors that generate the differences among cultures, in this study I shall refer only to the importance of certain communication languages and means. I shall address in particular the differences between modern written culture and current media culture, based on the audiovisual and the new communication forms and technologies. The book and the screen are representative communication means for the two types of cultures.
