Interdisciplinarity to leave the science blind spot behind
The authors of The Blind Spot emphasize the need for a new scientific worldview to navigate the crisis of meaning in contemporary science. They hold that objective scientific knowledge, developed from a third-person perspective, conceals knowledge gained through direct human experience (from a first-person perspective) in a blind spot. I argue that moving beyond the science blind spot requires an interdisciplinary approach in which the second-per…
Motivating faculty to foster character education across the university
This paper examines the experience of Austral University in fostering character education among faculty, aiming for medium-term educational change. The initiative commenced with twelve Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs), which investigate methods of cultivating students’ intellectual character through curricular redesigns. The article discusses how faculty members sustained their intrinsic motivation over two years to modify their teaching pract…
Interpersonal Intellectual Virtues
Due to the hyperspecialization so prevalent nowadays, interdisciplinary research is a demanding kind of epistemic activity. The concept of intellectual virtue as presented by responsibilist approaches of virtue epistemology could offer an effective counterweight to this challenge but raises the question of what epistemic virtues are necessary for interdisciplinarity. Based on a qualitative study, we identify and heuristically conceptualize a rele…
The Intellectual Character of Interdisciplinary Researchers
The study and understanding of fundamental questions cannot be addressed by a single discipline. A plurality of insights needs to be integrated or coordinated to allow for mutual enrichment in interdisciplinary research. The intellectual character describes the set of dispositions that both configure and motivate intellectual behavior. In this paper, we explore the intellectual virtues that constitute the ideal character of an interdisciplinary r…
"Hero," a virtual program for promoting prosocial behaviors toward strangers and empathy among adolescents
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of the virtual Hero program on the promotion of empathy (emotional contagion, emotional recognition, and perspective taking) and prosocial behavior toward strangers. Moreover, we studied whether promoting empathy strengthened the program's impact on adolescents' prosocial behavior. The study included 431 adolescents in the intervention group ( Mage = 13.64, 47% of participants identified as cisgender …
Second-person Perspective in Interdisciplinary Research
In this paper, we argue that to reverse the excess of specialization and to create room for interdisciplinary cross-fertilization, it seems necessary to move the existing epistemic plurality towards a collaborative process of social cognition. In order to achieve this, we propose to extend the psychological notion of joint attention towards what we call joint intellectual attention. This special kind of joint attention involves a shared awareness…
