Critical Commentary

This essay considers the relationship between the 'hard' natural sciences and the 'soft' social sciences, and explores the ideologies and 'psychological factors' that inform the hard/soft distinction. To do this, it draws on ideas from Sigmund Freud and Max Weber. 

The artifact comes from the Max Charlesworth archive, currently held at Deakin University.
