Forty years ago C.P. Snow challenged academe to redress what he saw as the corrosive division of the university into two cultures - the culture of so-called "literary intellectuals" and the culture of scientists. If this division really exists today its an amorphous one. Many scientists appreciate the interpretive approach of disciplines which hold out that much of knowledge is socially constructed. And many people in the humanities and the social sciences understand the virtues inherent in a scientific method. Humanists may tolerate a little more "fuzzyness" and will uphold the value of "interpretation" but they can certainly appreciate the value in an approach that insists on confining assertions to what can be tested and potentially proven wrong.
