- Summary:
- This Volume brings together leading scholars from a variety of fields to explore how adopting a consilient approach-informed by cognitive science and grounded in evolutionary theory-can concretely impact specific topics in the humanities, examining each topic in a manner that not only cuts across the science-humanities divide, but also across individual humanistic disciplines. By taking seriously the fact that science-humanities integration is a two-way exchange, this volume seeks to facilitate the creation of a new, shared framework for the sciences and humanities.
