Description
Chris Haufe challenges the idea that scientific knowledge is the only proper kind of knowledge, arguing instead that human judgments play a crucial role in the scientific method. This dependence on judgment reveals deep affinities between scientific knowledge and humanistic creative endeavour.
The author's new book uncovers the unexpected unity underlying all our efforts to understand human experience, whether through science or arts-based pursuits. It makes a vital contribution to broader conversation about the value of the humanities in an increasingly STEM-saturated educational culture.
