The Sorcerer's Apprentice and the Future of Knowledge
Across the late twentieth and early twenty-first century interdisciplinarity was offered as a remedy for what ails both academia and society. But we now live in different times: knowledge production has become too dangerous for it to continue along the laissez faire path it has trod. This implies that the concept of relevance, the stock and trade of interdisciplinarity, has become problematic. Rather than relevance, the conversation about knowled…
Field Philosophy
Field philosophy marks out a new path for 21st century philosophy, offering both a practical and theoretical alternative to disciplinary philosophy. The balance between disciplinary philosophy and field philosophy shifted in the late 19th century: philosophers were now almost entirely to be found in one location – on campus. Contemporary philosophy has not theorized the effects that location have on philosophizing. Field philosophy rebalances the…
International handbook on responsible innovation. A global resource
The International Handbook on Responsible Innovation. A Global Resource (Rene von Schomberg and Jonathan Hankins, eds., Edward Elgar Publishing, 2019) offers a synoptic account of a field that seek
The ethics of infinite impact
Transhumanism, the research program devoted to increasing our physical and mental abilities and lengthening our lifespan, casts light on the term ‘responsible innovation’. The goals of the transhumanists strike some as ludicrous, but the space between transhumanist pipedreams and the sober plans of the research community are essentially the same. This implies that talk of ‘responsible innovation’ is a cheat, for there is nothing responsible, or e…
Strawmen at the Symposium
In this essay, we reply to the five commentaries offered of our 2016 book, Socrates Tenured: The Institutions of 21st Century Philosophy. We argue that, in a recursive fashion, those commentaries exemplify the thesis of our book – that contemporary philosophy has a blind spot concerning the philosophical priors of its status as an institution. That is, 20th and now 21st century philosophy has limited metaphilosophy to being an exclusively theoret…
The Oxford Handbook of Interdisciplinarity
This title provides a synoptic overview of the current state of interdisciplinary research, education, administration and management, and problem solving - knowledge that spans the disciplines and interdisciplinary fields and crosses the space between the academic community and society at large
Socrates Tenured
Professional philosophy has strayed so far from its roots that Socrates wouldn’t stand a chance of landing tenure in most departments today. After all, he spent his time talking with people from all walks of life rather than being buried in the secondary literature and polishing arguments for peer-reviewed journals. Yet somehow this hypertrophy styles itself ‘real’ philosophy. Socrates Tenured diagnoses the pathologies of contemporary philosophy …
Interdisciplinarity, grand challenges, and the future of knowledge
A importância do tempo geológico
A descoberta do tempo geológico revolucionou o pensamento científico e conduziu ao desenvolvimento das modernas Ciências da Terra. Apesar disso, pouca atenção é dada para as consequências culturais e sociais de longo alcance do tempo geológico, que vão bem além de sua influência sobre as Geociências. Este ensaio resume a literatura que descreve a dificuldade que os estudantes encontram para compreender o tempo profundo, fornece uma visão geral do…
O raciocínio geológico
O padrão pelo qual se avalia o processo de raciocínio da geologia entende que lhe falta uma metodologia própria e distintiva. Pelo contrário, a geologia é descrita como ciência derivada, baseada em técnicas lógicas, tal como exemplificado pela física. Defendo que esta avaliação é insuficiente e distorce nossa compreensão tanto da geologia como do processo científico em geral. Longe de simplesmente assumir e aplicar as técnicas lógicas da física, …
Philosophy dedisciplined
The Dedisciplining of Peer Review
Separated at Birth, Signs of Rapprochement
Although environmental philosophy and the human exploration of space share common beginnings, scholars from either field have not given adequate attention to the possible connections between them. In this essay, we seek to spur the rapprochement and cross-fertilization of philosophy and space policy by highlighting the philosophic dimensions of space exploration, pulling together issues and authors that have had insufficient contact with one anot…
Filosofía No Confinada
Desafíos ambientales como aquellos que enfrenta la región del Cabo de Hornos en Chile, superan la competencia de cualquier marco disciplinario. Las aproximaciones interdisciplinarias al conocimiento, combinando la pericia de varias disciplinas, como también las perspectivas transdisciplinarias de los sectores público y privado, requieren un elemento unificador que permita integrar perspectivas tan dispares. El campo de la filosofía, que tradicion…

New Directions in Interdisciplinarity
Aristotle launched Western knowledge on a trajectory toward disciplinarity that continues to this day. But is the knowledge management project that began with Aristotle adequate for the age of Google? Perhaps an undisciplined discourse more evocative of Plato can help us constitute new, more relevant inter- and transdisciplinary forms of knowledge. This article explores the history of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity, arguing for a new, cri…
Introduction
Introduction—New Directions/Cities and Rivers
Over the course of the last six years, New Directions: Science, Humanities, Policy has taken a case-study approach to questions concerning the nature of knowledge production. Launched in 2001, New Directions promotes interdisciplinary collaborations where physical scientists, social scientists, and humanists work together with public science agencies, the private sector, and communities to deepen our understanding of and develop effective respons…

Nanotechnology
subtle incremental movements over time add up to decisive transformations of our cultural topography. According to many pundits, nanotechnology will be the next manifestation of this process – subterranean changes that will burst upon society with little warning. Or so some believe, with varying degrees of hope and fear. The question is, what type of philosophic questions do we need to ask if we are to prepare ourselves for the next earthquake? T…
The Policy Turn in Environmental Ethics
What is it like to be a geologist? A phenomenology of geology and its epistemological implications
In previous work we have described the nature of geologic reasoning and the relation between the geological observer and the outcrop which is the object of their study. We now turn to further consideration of the epistemological aspects of geology that have been largely neglected by twentieth century epistemology. Our basic claim is that the experiential facts of geological field work do not fit with a philosophy of science that has evolved out o…

The plea for balance in the public funding of science
Ivory Bridges
A study of two bridges between and society: governmental policy and scientists' voluntary public-interest associations. According to a widespread stereotype, scientists occupy an ivory tower, isolated from other parts of society. To some extent this is true, and the resulting freedom to pursue curiosity-driven research has made possible extraordinary scientific advances. The spinoffs of pure science, however, have also had powerful impacts on soc…
