چکیده
• How can different and potentially incommensurable disciplinary ontologies be synthesized into an integrated set of metaphysical commitments? • How can different technical meanings be negotiated to yield a common understanding of the research landscape? • How can normative questions about intellectual and social virtue be answered in the multicultural context of cross-disciplinary research? • What is the logic of integration that underlies epistemic combination in crossdisciplinary research projects?
