Abstract

The Consilience Project was a collaborative investigation among the editors and contributors from diverse disciplines to better understand the impact of Western assumptions of superiority upon the suppression of diversity and knowledge that resides among the world’s marginalized societies. By comparing impacts of broader understanding to Western classical music and technology through consilience, this project explores how to mend the rift of knowledge between Western and non-industrialized worlds.
