The View of Scientific Development Showing the Direction of Progress for Advanced Cultures——Collision & Blending between the "Two Cultures"

The culture of science emphasizes scientific rationality,whereas the culture of humanities shows more care for human affairs.The neglect of human affairs in the course of Western industrialization has resulted in the damage of human interests and consequently the worldwide criticism of technology,hence "the plight of man" and cultural conflicts.Charles Percy Snow brings forward the concept of "Two Cultures" and demonstrates the conflicts between them,causing heated debate over the issue in the world.In the light of this,the view of scientific development follows the historical current of the blending of the two cultures from their state of collision,and points out that development is of primary importance and that the blending of scientific and humanistic cultures are crucial to the harmonious development of the society,therefore showing clearly the direction of progress for advanced cultures.
