by Edward O. Wilson
Consilience means "a jumping together," in this case of the many branches of human knowledge. A wonderfully broad study encouraging scholars to bridge the gaps between the cultures of science and the arts. No such gaps should exist, Wilson maintains, for the sciences, humanities, and arts have a common goal: to give understanding a purpose, to lend to us all "a conviction, far deeper than a mere working proposition, that the world is orderly and can be explained by a small number of natural laws."
