Steve,
I understand your two examples (religion, literature) as examples for a
possible "dark side" to the word interdisciplinarity: transform many into
one.
With your statement "I, for one, can not keep in mind the problem for
which "interdisciplinearity" is the solution." you tell us that you don't
see a "light side".
I saw only the light side and would have missed your dark side before, for
I thought about interdisciplinarity as the opposite: transform one into
many - gain richness through connecting to diverse qualities.
Liebe Gruesse,
Winfried
