   Consilience is the bringing together of facts and theories from many fields of study to create a coherent, unified system of knowledge. Consilience, published in 1998 by Harvard scientist Edward O. Wilson, argues that the grand quest to unite all human thought, begun during the post-Renaissance Enlightenment era, should continue today, centered on the intellectual power of the scientific method.

   What Wilson fails to accept is that his dogmas are equally without support. He devotes this book to a search for consilience, not in any effort to prove that it will come about, but rather in an effort to raise hope that it might.

   Section 2, “Consilience through the Lens of Anthropology,” adopts a somewhat more narrow perspective on the problems and prospects of consilience by focusing on the discipline of anthropology.
