by GEORGE STEINER 4: Tomorrow
In the last of his 1970 T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered earlier this month at the University of Kent, Dr Steiner moves on from description and analysis to consider what an adequate model of culture might be like. He examines what seems to him the central question of the role of the sciences in literacy, considers the new, problematic relationship of society and truth, and asks if we may have arrived at the last door in Bluebeard's castle, which we cannot open lest the consequences be entirely uncontrollable.
