Excellent blog posting by Timothy Sandefur about why we shouldn't forget C. P Snow's message. Half a century has passed since his Rede lecture and the subsequent vicious spat with F. R Leavis. Sandefur explains what really underlay Leavis' attack on Snow's lecture. Well worth fifteen minutes of your time, if you have any opinions whatsoever on the place of science in society.
