Abstract

The concept of the Modern Ages varies according to the fields of study. When used in the literary field, it often refers to civil society and their lifestyles. Philosophers use the word to mean the establishment of the sense of selfhood based on the separation of subject and object after Descartes. Some sociologists put emphasis on the change from the life centered on production to the one centered on consumption. The Modern Ages has indeed many phases. However, this essay will focus on, from among various conceptions of the Modern Ages, the separation of science and literature and the birth of two cultures, and will seek for the ideal relationship of the two.
