INTERDISCIPLINARITY IN HISTORICAL RESEARCH
Abstract
In academic research and teaching, interdisciplinarity is widely preached and practiced. Interdisciplinarity is defined as a form of scientific imperialism, an intersection of the social sciences .
Interdisciplinary research develops over time in the lives of scientists, as an attitude that gradually develops in a spiral during the research practice of the humanities and social sciences. Often , interdisciplinarity is characterized as the connection of social sciences with art, medicine, natural sciences and computer science.
Many of the problems in modern society are so complex that they can only be solved by overcoming the boundaries that separate traditional disciplines. Disciplines mutually and positively "infect" each other in ways that go beyond traditional project-based interdisciplinarity .
The exercise of interdisciplinarity is especially important in history, whether it be anthropology in history, philosophy in innovation studies, history in development studies, or art in the sciences, and so on.
