The Two Cultures

by C. P. Snow

The Two Cultures Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The notion that our society, its education system and its intellectual life, is characterized by a split between two cultures--the arts or humanities on one hand, and the sciences on the other--has a long history. The reissue of The Two Cultures and its successor piece, A Second Look (in which Snow responded to the controversy four years later) has a new introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context of the debate, its implications and its afterlife.

Review:

"Probably the most important statement on the role of science in society yet available." Discovery
