Those bridges are not built from one discipline to another through informal analogy and the forced-fitting of methods and models as often occurs in grand umbrella interdisciplinary organizations. Instead, as 2,000 years ago all roads were said to lead to Rome, the interdisciplinary bridges we build all lead through systems science. And, as with the great transportation hubs of today, you can go anywhere from there. When the bridge is built between systems science and a discipline, the whole world is open to that discipline and that discipline to the whole world. Please notice that I said all bridges are built through systems science.
Science is our bent.
We were organized under the History and Philosophy of Science section of that organization. But while science is our perspective, we peculiarly reach beyond science to relate science with the arts and humanities. Each informs the others. This relationship, however, is sometimes misunderstood. Unquestionably, the ISSS is a scientific organization.
