The education of humanists cannot be regarded as complete, or even adequate, without exposure in some depth to where things stand in the various branches of science, particularly, in the areas of our ignorance. Physics professors, most of them, look with revulsion on assignments to teach their subjects to poets. The liberal arts faculties, for their parts, will continue to view the scientists with suspicion and apprehension. But maybe, a new set of courses dealing systematically with ignorance in science will take hold. The scientists might discover in it a new and subversive technique for catching the attention of students driven by curiosity, delighted and surprised to learn that science is exactly as some scientists described it: an “less frontier.” The humanists, for their part, might take considerable satisfaction in watching their scientific colleagues confess openly to not knowing everything about everyone. And the poets, on whose shoulders the future rests, might, late nights, thinking things over, begin to see some meanings that elude the rest of us.
