The notion that our society, its education system and its
intellectual life, is characterised by a split between two cultures
- the arts or humanities on one hand and the sciences on the other
- has a long history. But it was C. P. Snow's Rede lecture of 1959
that brought it to prominence and began a public debate that is
still raging in the media today. This fiftieth anniversary printing
of The Two Cultures and its successor piece, A Second Look (in
which Snow responded to the controversy four years later) features
an introduction by Stefan Collini, charting the history and context
of the debate, its implications and its afterlife. The importance
of science and technology in policy run largely by non-scientists,
the future for education and research, and the problem of
fragmentation threatening hopes for a common culture are just some
of the subjects discussed.
