"I think the perception of there being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false." ― Clifford Geertz Topic(s): Science More From Clifford Geertz "I’m writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it’s about social constructionism. So I would say I’m a social constructionist, whatever that means." "Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history, literature, science, anthropology. There’s been an extraordinary advance." "The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about." More In Science "One of the first rules of science is if somebody delivers a secret weapon to you, you better use it."― Herbert Simon "Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you’re free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in."― Saul Alinsky "Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist."― Robert Lanza
