Snow seems like a deep thinker to me. I think it's a mistake to attribute scientism to him. (Fair disclosure, I'm a bit of a CP Snow fan boy. But at least I've read a lot of his stuff.)
- lo_zamoyski 15d ago> I think it's a mistake to attribute scientism to him. That would be good news, but this does make the article more - not less - confusing. If he doesn't lean toward scientism or adopt a view that, when worked out fully, results in scientism, then it is difficult to grasp what the exact nature of the conflict is.
- nyeah 14d agoI think Snow himself was reasonable. I can't promise that the article makes sense.
