Triennial Interpassionary Meetings
"Love is a better master than duty" -- Albert Einstein.
"Passion is a better master than disicipline" -- Steve Mann (paraphrased from the above Albert Einstein quote)
Every 3 years or so I've been organizing meetings among the deans of the
various faculties, along the Albert Einstein "Love is a better master than duty"
theme.
I paraphrase Einstein's quote as
"Passion is a better master than discipline" to challenge
all the debate about the following kinds of thinking:
- interdisciplinary;
- transdisciplinary;
- multidisciplinary;
- crossdisciplinary;
My idea is that
the prefix (inter, trans, multi, or cross) matters less than the
"disciplinarity", i.e. we should stop arguing about the prefix and start
arguing against all the disciplinarity.
We need to replace disciplinarity with "passionarity"!
