About “The hedgehog, the fox, and the magister's pox”
The hedgehog, the fox, and the magister's pox explores the relationship between science and the humanities, using the ancient concept from Archilochus that the fox knows many things while the hedgehog knows one big thing. Gould argues that neither scientific nor humanistic approaches to knowledge can succeed in isolation, and he challenges the idea of an inevitable conflict between these domains, particularly in response to E.O. Wilson's Consilience.
