Interesting article on the front page of the NYTimes this past Sunday, on the web and the "literacy debate."

Similarities and Differences

Great work so far. By Friday it was more clear to me how inquiry is common to all human understanding/exploration/generation of meaning. Each domain can be characterized by a process of inquiry that continues to give birth to revised and novel stories, some about ourselves, our emotions our hopes and fears, some about the external material world that we live in as well as stories about our emotions, hopes and fears. Many comments to this effect in the online forum as well.

But what about the differences between the Humanities and the Sciences.
