Features: Feynman once said, "If nature is the key, then the humanities and social sciences are the instruction manual for using the key." We can say that the key and the instruction manual each have their own purposes, although they are interdependent, they cannot replace each other. For many years, people have hoped to achieve the ideal of unifying science and the humanities. However, in reality, we can only view science from the perspective of the humanities and vice versa. Tilling the fields of scientific culture and humanistic culture, as well as their intersection, yields different fruits. What we expect is not the unification of scientific and humanistic cultures, but rather the promotion of communication between the two cultures, diverse understandings, and different forms of integration.
