Interdisciplinarity and Truth

Activity: Talk or presentation / Performance / Speeches › Talk or presentation - at conference › Academic

Description

It is all too easy to assume that interdisciplinary research and education presuppose a subjectivist view of truth. One might believe that different disciplines have different ways of looking at the world and reveal different insights. There is no authoritative basis for deciding which "truth" is best, and so one must adopt an anti-foundationalist or post-modern view of the world in which there is no space for objective truth. In this presentation, I will explore this reasoning and the role of objectivity in interdisciplinary thinking.
