- Abstract:
The article argues that the Enlightenment principle that all branches of knowledge can join together to help us understand the world is still relevant today. The author argues for "consilience," the combination of many theories and disciplines to create a common basis of explanation. Consilience, though it by definition draws on all disciplines, requires the tools of the natural sciences.
