Description
Abstract The publication in 1959 of the University of Cambridge Rede Lecture by C. P. Snow, entitled The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, is justly remembered for the considerable stir it caused. Sir Charles' account of the growing communication barrier between practitioners of the natural sciences and technical fields, on the one hand, and the arts and humanities, on the other, inspired a veritable blizzard of urbane invective on both sides of the Atlantic, indeed throughout the Anglophone world. Yet, for all the heat, little light was shed on the sources of a profound and growing confusion. The following paper argues for a reinterpretation, 1) of the underlying points C. P. Snow wished to emphasize and, therefore, also for a rehabilitation of certain features of his most controversial work and 2) for a revised understanding of the two cultures, so called. The present author proposes to view them as merely two facets of the same coin: scientia or human knowledge. From this perspective on an intellectual realm newly reunited, curiosity is the principle currency and must be recognized, encouraged, and made the bedrock of decision-making throughout all forms, levels, and institutions of education.
