HAS SCIENCE DESTROYED OUR SENSE OF POETIC WONDER?


I am a MASSIVE fan of the BBC Radio Series IN OUR TIME and this discussion explores whether Scientific discoveries have destroyed our sense of poetic wonder when we perceive the world. This discussion involves Ian McEwan and Richard Dawkins with BIG MELV dictating the conversational journey. This resource might be more for teachers than students but Year 12 should listen to this as it relates to TROTAM. Year 13 could relate this to Marlowe and Shelley.
Make a brew, place headphones on head, and enjoy.
