Vous trouverez ci-dessous un message en anglais annonçant la première publication de la Fondation "World Knowledge Dialogue", ainsi qu'un rappel pour son prochain symposium, à la mi-septembre 2008, déjà présenté dans un autre fil.

The members of the "World Knowledge Dialogue" (WKD) team are happy to announce the publication of the book
A Vision of Transdisciplinarity: Laying Foundations for a World Knowledge Dialogue.
Based on reflections that the shared 2006 WKD Symposium experience stimulated among participants, this collection of essays vividly illuminates the principles of consilience. It bears testimony that each branch of knowledge studies a subset of reality dependent on factors studied in other branches; that the exact sciences, the social sciences, the humanities and arts each have their specific tools, methodologies, and limitations, but share a common goal of giving purpose to understanding.
You can see a more detailed description of the book, and place your order by following the links below:
For Switzerland
For the rest of the World: EPFL Press
The book is also obtainable from your online or local bookshop.
We take advantage of this message to remind you that the 2nd World Knowledge Dialogue Symposium will be held from September 10-13, 2008, again in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.
By registering now at http://www.wkdialogue.ch you can still join leading scientists and scholars, including several Nobel Laureates, to experiment with Dialogue between the branches of knowledge and invent the language that will allow you to communicate better across disciplinary boundaries.
