DESCRIPTION:*General and Particular*\n\nBoth in the sciences and the human
 ities there is a tension between particular research and general theories.
  Since the scientific revolution (if not before) there has been a tendency
 \, in both the sciences and humanities\, to frame general theories. Does t
 his survive into our time\, or has the emphasis shifted to particular rese
 arch with a reluctance to generalise? Have we outlived the need for genera
 l theories\, or are they crucial to understanding particular findings in t
 heir broader setting?\n\nFor more information please refer to our website:
