Between Literature and Science follows through to its emerging 21st-century future the central insight of 20th-century literary and cultural theory: that language and culture, along with their subsystems and artifacts, are self-referential systems. The book explores the workings of self-reference (and the related performativity) in linguistic utterances and assorted texts, through examples of the more open social-discursive systems of post-structuralism and cultural studies, and into the sciences, where complex systems organized by recursive self-reference are now being embraced as an emergent paradigm. This paradigmatic convergence between the humanities and sciences is autopoetics (adapting biologist Hubert Maturana’s term for “self-making” systems), and it signals a long-term epistemological shift across the nature/culture divide so definitive for modernity. If cultural theory has taught us that language, because of its self-referential nature, cannot bear simple witness to the world, the new paradigmatic status of self-referential systems in the natural sciences points toward a revived kinship of language and culture with the world: language bears “witness” to the world. The main movement of the book is through a series of model explications and analyses, operational definitions of concepts and terms, more extended case studies, vignettes and thought experiments designed to give the reader a feel for the concepts and how to use them, while working to expand the autopoetic internee by putting cultural self-reference in dialogue with the self-organizing systems of the sciences. Along the way the reader is introduced to self-reference in epistemology (Foucault), sociology (Luhmann), biology (Maturana/Varela/Kauffman), and physics and cosmology (Smolin). Livingston works through the fundamentals of cultural, literary, and science studies and makes them comprehensible to a non-specialist audience.

Bridging the Gap is a round-table discussion between one of the founders of Artificial Intelligence, the Novel laureate Herbert Simon, and thirty-three scholars from a diverse array of disciplines from cognitive science to the humanities.The discussion addresses the current theories of meaning proposed by literary theory that revolve around the triad author, text, and reader. SimonÕs proposal is that the advances in Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science deliver a theory of meaning that answers the questions being debated among various schools of literary criticism. The reactions to the proposal are diverse, in both conviction and disciplinary affiliation. The goal of the discussion is to Òbridge the gapÓ between the Òtwo culturesÓ Ñthe sciences and the humanities.Disciplines involved include computer science, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science on the one hand, and philosophy, history, literature, education, sociology, and art history on the other hand. While some representatives of Artificial Intelligence accuse Simon of philosophical simplicity, some representatives of literature welcome him as a Òguiding lightÓ into the field of literary theory. At the end of the book, Simon responds to all of his critics.This book represents an attempt to bring together scholars from disciplines that almost never interact with one another around a shared question. No matter whose side one is on, the discussion herein will be of interest to readers of diverse intellectual convictions and disciplinary backgrounds.

These essays throw new light on the complex relations between science, literature and rhetoric as avenues to discovery in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds examine the agency of early modern poets, playwrights, essayists, philosophers, natural philosophers and artists in remaking their culture and reforming ideas about human understanding. Analyzing the ways in which the works of such diverse writers as Shakespeare, Bacon, Hobbes, Milton, Cavendish, Boyle, Pope and Behn related to contemporary epistemological debates, these essays move us toward a better understanding of interactions between the sciences and the humanities during a seminal phase in the emergence of modern Western thought.
