An ancient topic

"Science and the humanities - an ancient topic, even a tired one. Like the faint lavender of old closets whose family gowns and dress suits and old uniforms are too interesting to throw away, yet plainly not suited to modern living, brought out only on special occasions."


Bruner, Jerome (1986), Actual Minds, Possible Worlds, Harvard University Press, Cambridge/Massachusetts and London/England, p.44
