Their Epistemologies
A lecture by
Richard Foley, NYU
Introduction by Maria Luisa Ardizzone (NYU)
Respondent: Jane Tylus (Yale)
Should inquiries in the basic sciences and the humanities have different aims? Here are two closely related questions: Are the values informing these inquiries typically different and should they be? In his book, The Geography of Insight: The Sciences, the Humanities, How They Differ, Why They Matter, Prof. Richard Foley argues that the answer to all these questions is “yes.”
