Appendix <br/><br/><br/><br/> The arts and sciences have evolved primarily through specialization and broadening of scope. Stepping outside of one's established discipline, however, involves a danger of "shallowness," even if the primary challenge was a "deep" integration problem. All too often, current ways of defining academic disciplines and fields of research fail to do justice to new approaches-a problem this volume tackles as it debates the possible futures of scholarship and academia. <br/><br/><br/>Mode of access: Internet via World Wide Web. <br/><br/><br/>This eBook is made available Open Access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license:  <br/><br/><br/>In English. <br/><br/><label>ISBN: </label>9789048503667 <br/><br/><label>Subjects--Topical Terms: </label><br/>Science and the humanities.<br/>Science--Philosophy.<br/>EDUCATION / General.<br/><br/><label>LC Class.
