Content:
Kline (science, technology, and values; mechanical engineering, Stanford U.) presents a case for the necessity of multidisciplinary studies, demonstrating the disadvantages of reductionist paradigms and lack of communication across disciplines, and suggests solutions. He offers three overviews of the intellectual terrain, and creates a quantitative measure for the complexity of any system. Includes a glossary. For scholars interested in the human enterprise as a whole or in the non-major part of university education.
