A review by tenisonpurple
The Two Cultures by Stefan Collini, C.P. Snow

informative slow-paced

3.0

Interesting modern introduction and then the Rede lecture which inspired Flanders and Swan to write about the second law of thermodynamics. Very interesting to read what was at the time a highly controversial lecture/article. CP Snow seems to have something of a chip on his shoulder about the “literary intellectuals” although some of his points about knowledge of science and arts and the specialisation of education (particularly in the UK) still seem quite relevant even though they are 40 years old
