Our current intellectual system provides us with a far more
complete and accurate understanding of nature and ourselves than
was available in any previous society. This gain in understanding
has arisen from two sources: the use of the 'scientific method',
and the breaking up of our intellectual enterprise into
increasingly narrower disciplines and research programs. However,
we have failed to keep these narrow specialities connected to the
intellectual enterprise as a whole. The author demonstrates that
this causes a number of difficulties. We have no viewpoint from
which we can understand the relationships between the disciplines
and lack a forum for adjudicating situations where different
disciplines give conflicting answers to the same problem. We
seriously underestimate the differences in methodology and in the
nature of principles in the various branches of science. This
provocative and wide-ranging book provides a detailed analysis and
possible solutions for dealing with this problem.
