Rikei Baka to Bunkei Baka (PHP Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] The "science idiot" is immersed in his or her own favorite world and is prone to extreme behavior. On the other hand, "liberal arts idiots" tend to take other people's information for granted and are easily influenced by the atmosphere of the place. What is the bias in their thinking that can be seen from their behavior patterns? Are you really OK? In this book, we consider the ideal of a balanced intellect that breaks down the barriers between "liberal arts" and "science. In particular, it warns against the current situation in Japan, where science has been rapidly declining. He proposes concrete measures for science enlightenment in education, politics, and the media. The author knows how to hone his "sense of fusion of literature and science," which he has only learned because he has lived and worked in both worlds.
