Subjectivity in an Era of Scientific Imperialism
(page 4)

Conclusions

We live in an age of paradox. On the one hand, science has become the hope and glory of our era.  On the other, a significant part of the population, perhaps a majority, lives in a world riddled by superstition, irrational beliefs, and ideological fanaticism. 

Similarly, at a time when objective fact and the infamous bottom line are the tests of all things in a supposedly secular society, the individual artist has become part of a new aristocracy or clergy in the service of what some consider the secular religion of the age.  The arts, generally thought to be intangible and frills in a bottom-line economy, have become (due to a fundamental demographic revolution involving rising levels of education, the increasing participation of women, and the aging of the population) a major force contributing to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy.  The university - the nominal center for research in our society - is chained by disciplinary, regional, linguistic, and ethnic biases that make it difficult if not impossible effectively to conduct transdisciplinary arts research. Accordingly, and with the exception of the individual scholar committed to culture and the arts, the future of arts research resides outside rather than inside the Canadian university, as is the case with other meta-policy research, such as poverty, philanthropy, and productivity.
