DESCRIPTION:This series has past.\n\n*OUR LENT 2007 LECTURE SERIES IS 'WHA
 T IS LIFE?'*\nplease see the website http://www.srcf.ucam.org/think or the
  list http://talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/7884\n\n*General and Particular*\n
 \nBoth in the sciences and the humanities there is a tension between parti
 cular research and general\ntheories. Since the scientific revolution (if 
 not before) there has been a tendency\, in both the sciences\nand humaniti
 es\, to frame general theories. Does this survive into our time\, or has t
 he emphasis shifted to\nparticular research with a reluctance to generalis
 e? Have we outlived the need for general theories\, or are\nthey crucial t
 o understanding particular findings in their broader setting?\n\nFor more
