ABSTRACT

In 1959, C. P. Snow, who was both a physicist and a novelist, gave a lecture titled "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution". This chapter addresses all of the issues and concerns that are relevant to addressing the question of the nature of the relationships between arts and sciences, and, indeed. The American scholar Ian Barbour has written on the relations between science and religion. The audience of the sciences is primarily composed of critics, individuals who share a knowledge of the field and can ascertain whether the creator has made a legitimate contribution to the scientific canons. The artistic performer generally examines the plan or score of the creator and seeks to realize it in a way faithful to the creator's intention, while at the same time inducing appropriate response in the audience. Earlier noted that there are a number of ways in which art and science might be related: conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration.
