20世纪50年代晚期至60年代早期,在剑桥以及英国知识界曾爆发了关于“两种文化”的大讨论,这场讨论将科学与人文分隔了开来,到如今,这场辩论已经被人们渐渐淡忘,只有在斯蒂芬·科里尼(Stefan Collini)所编的1959年“瑞德演讲”中才能找到些许蛛丝马迹。这篇演讲是现在早已被大众遗忘的斯诺(Snow)所发表的关于科学中心论的一份宣言,也是一份对“人文知识分子”的批判书;它不该被遗 In the late 1950s and early 1960s, major discussions on “two cultures” broke out in Cambridge and in the British intelligentsia, separating the science from the humanities.
