\"jeffrey_aronson\"<\/a>The IndoEuropean root KW<\/sup>EL, which implied turning in different ways, has turned into many different linguistic manifestations. Through the Greek \u03ba\u03cd\u03ba\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2, a circle, we get cycle, cyclone, and encyclopaedia. A consonantal shift gives\u00a0\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2, that which turns out, the completion of a cycle, anything final, whence teleology, teleoanalysis<\/a>, and entelechy, the Aristotelian realisation of potentiality. The Sanskrit word for a wheel, cakram, gives us chakra, a circular Sikh weapon and the wheel on the Indian flag, and chukka, a turn at polo. And \u201cwheel\u201d comes from Teutonic forms, such as Old Germanic kwe(g)ula and Old English\u00a0hweogol. In Latin, collum means the neck, on which the head turns, giving us collar, accolade, d\u00e9collet\u00e9, and torticollis. Colere means to turn over the soil, to till or cultivate, and hence to inhabit and to worship, giving us colony and bucolic, cult, and cultivate. Not to mention culture.<\/p>\n

On 6 October 1956, the scientist and novelist C P Snow published an article in the New Statesman<\/em>, \u201cThe Two Cultures<\/a>\u201d, meaning the sciences and the humanities, in which he wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe separation between the two cultures has been getting deeper under our eyes; there is now precious little communication between them, little but different kinds of incomprehension and dislike. The traditional culture, which is, of course, mainly literary, is behaving like a state whose power is rapidly declining\u2014standing on its precarious dignity, spending far too much energy on Alexandrine intricacies, occasionally letting fly in fits of aggressive pique quite beyond its means, too much on the defensive to show any generous imagination to the forces which must inevitably reshape it. Whereas the scientific culture is expansive, not restrictive, confident at the roots, the more confident after its bout of Oppenheimerian self-criticism, certain that history is on its side, impatient, intolerant, creative rather than critical, good natured, and brash. Neither culture knows the virtues of the other; often it seems they deliberately do not want to know. The resentment which the traditional culture feels for the scientific is shaded with fear; from the other side, the resentment is not shaded so much as brimming with irritation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snow admitted that his generalisations were \u201cbound to look silly at the edges\u201d and agreed that \u201cthere are a good many scientists indistinguishable from literary persons, and vice versa.\u201d \u201cNevertheless,\u201d he added, \u201cfor anyone like myself . . . at one time moving between groups of scientists and writers in the same evening, the difference has seemed dramatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On 7 May 1959, in the Senate House in Cambridge, in his Rede Lecture, which he titled \u201cThe Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution\u201d (picture), Snow repeated his assertions about scientists and literary scholars, now typified by the following paragraph:<\/p>\n

\u201cA good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is the scientific equivalent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n

Snow was not the first to have pointed out the mutual incomprehension of scientists and literary scholars. Snow himself, in a 1963 essay, cited predecessors such as Jacob Bronowski (\u201cThe Educated Man in 1984<\/a>\u201d) and Merle Kling (\u201cThe Intellectual: Will He Wither Away?<\/a>\u201d). Matthew Arnold and Thomas Henry Huxley (\u201cDarwin\u2019s bulldog\u201d) had had a similar debate 80 years earlier, starting with Huxley\u2019s 1880 lecture \u201cScience and Culture<\/a>\u201d, to which Arnold\u2019s 1882 Rede Lecture, \u201cLiterature and Science<\/a>\u201d, was a riposte. But Snow\u2019s lecture aroused much interest, provoking an incredibly vitriolic outburst from the Cambridge academic F R Leavis, in his Richmond Lecture, \u201cThe Significance of C. P. Snow,\u201d given at Cambridge\u2019s Downing College in February 1962 and published the following week in The Spectator<\/em>. But for Leavis\u2019s attack, and the many eloquent responses it elicited from others, Snow\u2019s lecture might have been forgotten, but the ensuing controversy has fuelled debate about the relationship between science and the humanities and how they affect our lives in many ways, particularly education.<\/p>\n

Next week, Leavis\u2019s lecture.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Aronson<\/strong> is a clinical pharmacologist, working in the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine in Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. He is also president emeritus of the British Pharmacological Society.<\/em><\/p>\n
