This book tells the story of how the very idea of two cultures-the
so-called divorce between science and the humanities-was a creation
of the modern world-system. The contributors, working from a common
research framework, trace the divorce of "facts" and "values" as
part of the transition from feudalism to capitalism. This led to a
polarization between universalist "science" and the particularist
"humanities" and finally to the creation of the social sciences as
an uneasy intermediary in this epistemological debate. The book
addresses the contemporary attempts to overcome the division
between the two cultures that emerge from science, feminism, race
and ethnic studies, cultural studies, and ecology, ending with an
analysis of the culture wars and the science wars. Contributors:
Volkan Aytar, Ay,se Betul Celik, Mauro Di Meglio, Mark Frezzo,
Ho-fung Hung, Biray Kolloupglu K3/4rl3/4, Agustin Lao- Montes, Eric
Mielants, Boris Stremlin, Sunaryo, Norihisa Yamashita, Deniz
Yukeseker.
