Creating Consilience by Edward Slingerland
This volume takes a new approach to bridging the cultures of science and the humanities. The editors and contributors formulate how to develop a new shared framework of consilience beyond mere interdisciplinarity, in a way that both sides can accept.
The book is written for a mixed audience of scientists and humanists, and as such is widely accessible in style, with technical terms being explained in the textThe wide ranging case studies show it to be an important read, not just for those who consider themselves to be in disciplines 'near the boundary' between the humanities and sciences, but for all scientists and humanists. The book well serves the most important function a book of its kind can - to provoke debate among scholars who might not ordinarily communicate with one another. * Ruth Hibbert, Metapsychology Online Reviews *
the book is distinctive in its clarity and impressive in providing the reader with a rich case-study repository. * Martin Palecek, Journal of Cognitive Historiography *
