William Deresiewicz Quotes

To Say That The Humanities Can Be A Path To Truth Itself Is To Challenge One Of Our Most Closely Held Beliefs. We Live Not Only In A Scientific World, But Also In A Scientistic One: A World That Thinks That Science - Empirical, Objective, Quantifiable - Is The Exclusive Form Of Knowledge, And That Other Methods Of Inquiry Are Valid Only Insofar As They Approximate Its Methods. But The Humanities And Science Face In Opposite Directions. They Don't Just Work In Different Ways; They Work On Different Things.
