    • This public and self-conscious struggle culminated in the late 1600s, as older Renaissance convictions about the acme of achievement and textual authority of classical authors ceded to the acknowledgment that newer empirical methods (now called "science") could transcend ancient understanding. In 1704, Jonathan Swift wrote the most famous commentary on this debate, a wickedly satirical essay called "The Battle of the Books," featuring a war in a deserted library between "ancient" and "modern" volumes.

    • This favored late 19th-century dichotomy (still persisting today) viewed social and technological progress as the outcome of a "warfare" between science and theology, and received a "semiofficial" status in two contrasting and phenomenally successful volumes: J. W. Draper's History of the Conflict Between Science and Religion (1874) and A. D. White's A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom (1896). Draper, a vehement anti-Catholic who hoped that liberal Protestant theology might live in peace with science, had presented the speech (on "the intellectual development of Europe considered with reference to the view of Mr. Darwin") that unleashed the famous "debate" between T. H. Huxley and Bishop Samuel Wilberforce in 1860. White, as the first president of Cornell University and a dedicated and ecumenical theist, hoped to persuade his fellow believers that the beneficial and unstoppable advances of science posed no threat to genuine religion but only to outmoded dogmas and superstitions.

    • C. P. Snow, a scientist by training and a novelist and university administrator by later practice, delivered his famous talk on "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution" as the Rede Lecture at Cambridge University in May 1959. He spoke of the growing gap between literary intellectuals and professional scientists, noting for example how "one found Greenwich Village talking precisely the same language as Chelsea, and both having about as much communication with M.I.T. as though the scientists spoke nothing but Tibetan."

    • The great American sociologist of science Robert K. Merton wrote an entire book on pre-Newtonian uses of this image to make the serious point, with a wonderfully light touch, that supposed personal inventions (not claimed by Newton in this case but attributed to him by later commentators) often reflect long and complicated social settings and previous uses. See R. K. Merton, On the Shoulders of Giants - A Shandean Postscript (The Free Press, New York, 1965). See also my appreciation of Merton's book: S. J. Gould, "Polished pebbles, pretty shells: An Appreciation of OTSOG," in Robert K. Merton: Consensus and Controversy, J. Clark, C. Modgil, S. Modgil, Eds. (Falmer Press, New York, 1990), pp. 35-47.
