He discusses the role of the humanities in shaping the intellectual and moral character of students, and the importance of science in advancing knowledge and understanding of the natural world.The book also explores the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of science and humanities in education. Osler argues that while the two fields may seem to be at odds, they are in fact complementary and necessary for a well-rounded education.Overall, The Old Humanities and the New Science is a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between traditional education and the modern world of science.
