The famous essay by CP Snow ‘The Two Cultures’ put forward an image of knowledge and power which divided scholarly activity into two radically different types; one which was primarily organised around knowledge of the humanities, particularly literature and the classics, and the other which was oriented around science and technology. At the time and place the essay was written, Britain in the 1950’s, the cultural and intellectual life of the nation was dominated by the culture of the humanities, with science and technology being considered slightly grubby manual labour and having little intellectual merit. This position has changed radically in the 50 years since the essay was written, and it might be argued that there is a thriving ‘third culture’ in which the intellectual achievements of science and the humanities mingle and merge. However, there does seem to be a noticable tendency amongst some science writers and pundits to seek a return to the bad old days of Snow’s two cultures, but with the order of dominance reversed and with science firmly established as the sole repository of intellectual value.
