Contents:
Frontmatter -- Preface -- Table of contents -- 1. The Sciences and Arts Debate. A review and some conclusions -- 2. Historical and Structural Approaches in the Natural and Human Sciences -- Discussion: The Role of Laws and Contingency in History -- 3. Science and Society in Flux -- Discussion: Does A New Kind of Science Require a New Kind of Scholar or a New Kind of University? -- 4. Science for the 21st Century -- Discussion: Redrawing Disciplinary Boundaries - but to What Degree? -- 5. Science and Democracy -- Science and Democracy: a difficult relationship: 'An enlightened and elitist essay on an unresolvable problem' -- 6. Epilogue -- 7. Appendix
Summary: The arts and sciences have evolved primarily through specialization and broadening of scope. Stepping outside of one's established discipline, however, involves a danger of "shallowness," even if the primary challenge was a "deep" integration problem. All too often, current ways of defining academic disciplines and fields of research fail to do justice to new approaches-a problem this volume tackles as it debates the possible futures of scholarship and academia.
