      There's not a rigid boundary between culture & science coz science is part of culture.But we don't always have to look at science culturallyhttps://twitter.com/JCMaas/status/854304208694194176 …

      I still think that is an artificial boundary.

      In same way, we don't always need to look at culture scientifically.I can discuss what humans are doing without situating them taxonomically

      It's sometimes necessary to mention that humans are apes but if I write an essay abt cultural issues w/out mentioning this, that's OK too.

      No scientist DMs me demanding an explanation. But too often ppl in the humanities feel entitled to demand science always addresses culture

          IMHO this is because people are confused about what science is.

          We can mean different things - an institution, a focus of study, a method etc. Just need to clarify which sense we're using it in.

          I'm talking about method mainly here.

          I'm thinking mostly about focus of study. Looking at the way ppl think culturally & the way they think scientifically is very different.

          I'm certainly interested in cognitive mechanisms underlying it but I'm more interested in language & attitudes & ideology affecting culture.

          These can certainly be measured scientifically but this, to me,is less interesting than trying to understand how it all works in ppl's minds

          This is mostly about definitions, but I pers. don't see why that shouldn't be called science. If your ideas are falsifiable, it's science.

          They're not falsifiable & making them so is not the point. One of my professors & her husband is making a database of phrases in manuscripts
