Abstract

This chapter first identifies the key disciplines (and interdisciplinary fields) that must be engaged in this project. It then summarizes the disciplinary perspective of each. As will be argued below, disciplinary insights can only be understood and evaluated within the context of the ‘disciplinary perspective’ from which they emerge. The interdisciplinarian must strive to convince their audience that they understand both the insights and the relevant perspectives (Repko 2008). This chapter naturally draws upon chapters 2 and 3 since disciplinary perspective is grounded in and largely comprises the mutually compatible set of phenomena, theories, and methods that is chosen by the discipline. But disciplinary perspective is more than this, and attention must thus also be paid to ideological, ethical, and epistemological dimensions. In turn chapter 4 sets the stage for the evaluation of disciplinary insights in later chapters.
