Abstract

In 1959, the novelist and physicist C. P. Snow, delivered his famous lecture on ‘Two Cultures’ at the University of Cambridge. Snow argued that while the humanities and the sciences (in particular, the natural sciences) form the two great cultural traditions humans use to make sense of their lives, these domains of knowing remain strangers to one another. Like ships passing in the night, science and art reflect a cultural divide for which no easy rapprochement exists.
