Abstract: Intellectual cross-pressures genereted by an interdisciplinary outlook liberate a person's thinking from the limiting assumptions of his own professional group, and stimulate fresh vision.Milgram, Thinking, 103Interdisciplinarians are forever treating themselves to the intellectual equivalent of exploring exotic lands.[…] To overcome the negative sides of specialization, to retain its vitality, the academy must cultivate interdisciplinary knowledge and research.It must never forget that a vibrant community of scholars -just like a thriving ecosystem -nurtures specialists and generalists, diversity and interconnections.Nissani, Cheers,
