Postmodern Interdisciplinarity.
Mourad, Roger P., Jr.
Review of Higher Education, v20 n2 p113-40 Win 1997
Examines four postmodern forms of thought that are posing fundamental challenges to modern assumptions about knowledge; all reject absolute foundations of knowledge, which are rooted in the notion that legitimate intellectual activity is the discipline-based pursuit of knowledge of entities that exist before and independent of inquiry. Offers a postmodern conception of higher education. (Author/MSE)
