Abstract:
This lecture focuses on a central paradox of critical inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in the modern and postmodern era: the relationship between the relative autonomy of each discipline as a separate sphere of knowledge on the one hand, and the desire for border-crossing, interdisciplinary integration of conceptual paradigms on the other. The talk traces the evolution of the discourse on knowledge and reviews prevalent theories of knowledge formation, from the Enlightenment period to the twentieth century. The speaker examines relevant ideas of such thinkers as G. E. Lessing (18th century German Enlightenment), Thomas Kuhn (historian of science), Jean-Francois Lyotard (postmodern philosopher), Clifford Geertz (anthropologist), and Edward Said (cultural critic).
