The One Culture? is organized into three parts. The first consists of position papers written by scientists and sociologists of science, which were distributed to all the participants. The second presents commentaries on these papers, drawing out and discussing their central themes and arguments. In the third section, participants respond to these critiques, offering defenses, clarifications, and modifications of their positions.

In this brief, renowned inorganic chemist Jay Labinger tracks the development of his field from a forgotten specialism to the establishment of an independent, intellectually viable discipline. Inorganic chemistry, with negation in its very name, was long regarded as that which was left behind when organic and physical chemistry emerged as specialist fields in the 19th century.

Jay Labinger was born on July 6, 1947, in Los Angeles, California. He is the son of Harry and Dorothy Labinger.
Jay Labinger attended Harvey Mudd College. There he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1968. Also, Labinger studied at Harvard University, where he received a Doctor of Philosophy in 1974.
Jay Labinger, a noted chemist and educator, started his career at Princeton University. He was a postdoctoral research associate in 1973-1974, and then an instructor in 1974-1975. After it, he served as an assistant professor at the University of Notre Dame from 1975 to 1981. In 1981-1983 Labinger worked at the Occidental Research Corporation as a senior research chemist. Then he joined the Atlantic Richfield Company in Los Angeles. Since 1986, Jay Labinger serves at the California Institute of Technology as an administrator of the Beckman Institute and a member of the professional staff. Since 2006, he is also a faculty associate.
As a writer, Jay Labinger joins fellow editor Harry Collins in the 2001 book The One Culture?: A Conversation about Science. Including writings by both editors as well as essays by twelve physicists and sociologists of science such as Alan Sokal, Michael Lynch, Steven Weinberg, Kenneth G. Wilson, and others, the book addresses an argument that gained prominence in academic circles focusing on science studies during the 1990s: namely, the relevancy of hard science versus the schools of thought generated by sociologists, philosophers, and historians that used social construction and relativism as frameworks for making sense out of science's role in human development and history. The argument had its genesis in a 1962 study by historian Thomas Kuhn in which he concluded that scientific knowledge is colored by the social factors that led to its discovery. The One Culture?, in effect, a written debate, which had its genesis in a 1997 academic conference held in Southampton is divided into three sections. The first containing position papers on the so-called "Science Wars," the second containing a discussion of the issues addressed in the papers, and the third is a response and rebuttal by each of the contributors to criticisms voiced in section two.
Several of the questions addressed by Labinger's contributors focus on the role of scientists within the decision-making process: What priority should a society place upon scientific knowledge, and who is justified in transmitting such knowledge? How skeptically should so-called scientific "facts" be viewed? Is the academic field of science study "antiscience," as it was labeled following a widely reported pseudo-scientific article debunking quantum gravity that New York University physics professor Alan Sokal managed to publish in a respected cultural studies journal in 1996 that was later proven to be a total hoax?
Additionally, Jay Labinger serves as an associate editor of the Chemical Reviews in 1979-1981 and an editor of the Journal of Molecular Catalysis in 1994-1998. Besides, he is a contributor to Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry.
