ABSTRACT
In contrast, science does not concern itself with the contents of a life-world of this sort, which is culture-bound, ego-centered, and pre-interpreted in the ordinary language of social groups and socialized individuals:
Huxley juxtaposes the social life-world and the worldless universe of facts. He also sees precisely the way in which the sciences transpose their information about this worldless universe into the life-world of social groups:
WHEN C. P. SNOW PUBLISHED The Two Cultures in 1959, he initiated a discussion of the relation of science and literature which has been going on in other countries as well as in England. Science in this connection has meant the strictly empirical sciences, while literature has been taken more broadly to include methods of interpretation in the cultural sciences. The treatise with which Aldous Huxley entered the controversy, however, Literature and Science, does limit itself to confronting the natural sciences with the belles-lettres.
