It manifests itself most notably in the crisis of individuality that is generated by the nexus of science, literature, and politics, one that challenges each of us to find a way of balancing our personal identities between our public and private selves in an otherwise estranging world. This challenge, which can only be expressed as \"the struggle of modernity,\" perhaps finds no better expression than in C. P. Snow. In his career as novelist, scientist, and civil servant, C. P. Snow (1905-1980) attempted to bridge the disparate worlds of modern science and the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile Snow is often regarded as a late-Victorian liberal who has little to say about the modernist period in which he lived and wrote, de la Mothe challenges this judgment, reassessing Snow's place in twentieth-century thought. He argues that Snow's life and writings-most notably his \u003ci\u003eStrangers and Brothers\u003c\/i\u003e sequence of novels and his provocative thesis in \u003ci\u003eThe Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e-reflect a persistent struggle with the nature of modernity. They manifest Snow's belief that science and technology were at the center of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late John de la Mothe was Canada Research Chair in Innovation Strategy and was a faculty member at the Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 263\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52444135293235,"sku":"9780292729162","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ZUFSTkNQVXZoVDBqNWUwOXgvdzNYQT09.webp?v=1758930938","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/c-p-snow-and-the-struggle-of-modernity-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
