By subdisciplinary I mean the basic skills of critical reading and writing that various disciplines have in common. This is especially true of introductory seminars. While in general I have no problem with this, I would be the first to admit that much of what I am teaching in intro to philosophy is close reading and constructing arguments, I also think that adding disciplines can only exasperate the problem; everything gets reduced to the lowest common denominator.unemployed negativityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251742512967070290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31783628.post-76506664355577230502007-10-20T13:48:00.000-04:002007-10-20T13:48:00.000-04:00Nice!

I wonder if we have not left behind the interdisciplinary and should be more interested in the trans-disciplinary which relies on the disciplines as a conduit to reveal an aufhebung of a sort synthesizing the interconnectedness of disciplines (in terms of foundational quest for knowledge, or whatever you want to call it) and the singularity of each disciplinary approach or method (and here we may have hybrid interdisciplinary or intradisciplinary approaches). Anyway, just a thought!nihilisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139937287539449450noreply@blogger.com
