Consilience

Consilience is a term that refers to the principle of unity of knowledge, suggesting that evidence from independent, unrelated sources can converge to support a particular conclusion or theory. The concept was popularized by the biologist E.O. Wilson in his 1998 book "Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge." In this work, Wilson argues for the integration of information from different fields such as science, humanities, and social sciences to foster a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues.
