31.4 Read the text and then answer the questions. Use a dictionary if necessary.

Autonomy and creativity are two key concepts in the humanities which are often thought to be not part of scientific thinking. However, recent projects in the sciences suggest this is not true. For example, the attempt to load the components of human consciousness into a computer is a fundamentally creative activity which has profound implications for our understanding of what a human being is. Such science  may make us change our way of thinking about moral and philosophical questions and may make it possible for those in the humanities to find a  new grounding for their own work.
