C P Snow Lecture: The Rich and the Poor by Christ's College Cambs published on 2023-03-14T15:33:55Z On 7 March, Christ's Honorary Fellow Professor Philip Kitcher (m. 1966) gave a C P Snow Lecture titled 'The Rich and the Poor.' C P Snow was a Fellow of Christ's College, and this endowed lecture aims to bridge the divide between the humanities and the sciences--a division that he argued is a major barrier to solve the world's problems. Professor Kitcher's lecture revisited the second half of Snow's famous Rede Lecture, 'The Two Cultures,' which he gave in 1959, to consider how Snow's predictions of a world in which the advances of science would greatly reduce or even eliminate poverty have held up. He argues that the current institutions aiming to remedy international poverty are not only inadequate to deliver what is needed, but also at odds with the conditions of ethnical life. Genre Learning
