Dickens & Darwin
Following up on last weeks' discussion of art vs.science, I found an article in The Scientist about the parallels of science and literature:
Scientists and authors absorb the cultural milieu of their time, whether unconsciously or consciously. I believe we are in a new paradigm where the approach to linking science and literature is beyond the term interdisciplinary, and now encompasses a unique, emerging, and multidimensional discipline of its own.
