Abstract: In Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno referred to science as a “triumphant calamity.” Since then, skepticism of science has grown, and nowhere has that skepticism become more firmly established than in the arts and humanities academy. For more than a decade, Huron has endeavored to explain critical theory and postmodernist concerns to scientists. This lecture takes the complementary perspective: Huron identifies and discusses misconceptions about science that are widespread in the arts and humanities.
