Who are we? ... as peoples?, as humanity? |

| I believe the
intellectual life
of the whole of western society is increasingly being split into two groups.
When I say the intellectual life, I mean to include also a large part of
our practical life, because I should be the last person to suggest the two
can at the deepest level be distinguished ... Literary intellectuals at
one pole - at the other scientists ... Between the two a gulf of mutual
incomprehension - sometimes (particularly among the young) hostitility and
dislike, but most of all lack of understanding ... This polarisation is
sheer loss to us all. To us as people, and to our society. It is at the
same time practical and intellectual and creative loss, and I repeat that
it is false to imagine that those three considerations are clearly separable.
C.P. Snow, The Two Cultures If the natural sciences can be successfully united with the social sciences and the humanities, the liberal arts in higher education will be revitalized ... The future of the liberal arts lies ... in addressing the fundamental questions of human existence head on, without embarrassment or fear, taking them from the top down in easily understandable language, and progressively rearranging them into domains of inquiry that unite the best of science and the humanities at each level of organization in turn.E.O.
