"The Old Humanities and the New Science" by Sir William Osler is a presidential address delivered to the Classical Association in 1919 and published in 1920. This work is a scholarly essay that reflects Osler's views on the relationship between the humanities, particularly classical studies, and the burgeoning field of modern science during the early 20th century. The topic centralizes around the importance of integrating scientific progress with classical humanistic traditions in education. In his address, Osler discusses the evolving landscape of knowledge during a time marked by rapid advancements in science juxtaposed against the enduring relevance of classical humanities. He articulates a vision where both domains are necessary for a well-rounded education, emphasizing that science benefits from the ethical and philosophical perspectives offered by the humanities, while also acknowledging that neglecting scientific thought would detract from a comprehensive understanding of human culture. His reflections highlight the historical contributions of classical thinkers to modern science and medicine and advocate for a collaborative educational approach that honors both fields, asserting that the richness of the humanities can enhance the practice of science and vice versa.
