    • Abstract:
      The article looks at the relationship between science and the humanities, as of 2013. The author presents a critique of the views expressed in the article "Science Is Not Your Enemy" by Steven Pinker, which appeared in a previous issue of the publication. He criticizes what he refers to as scientism, or the view that science offers the single true approach to understanding the world and human life. He describes the humanities as the study of various expressions of inward experience.
