Wilson issues a call to unify knowledge into a single internally consistent and inclusive world-view. He also explores questions of meaning and purpose, and of ends in general—questions of value—from the perspective of a biologist.

Partha Dasgupta, lauded for showing flaws in GDP as measure of wealth, and for his work in intergenerational equity, sustainable development, and natural capital accounting, affirms Pope Francis for his encyclical on poverty and the environment. Dasgupta and and another economist had appealed to the pope and other religious leaders for assistance in mobilizing people on a global scale. I view the outcome a step towards consilience.

The authors of Encyclopedia Britannica organize what they recognize as the accumulated knowledge of the human species, providing us opportunity to reflect upon their rationale for this organization, upon those parts of their scheme we know best and least, upon which are more or less consilient with each other, and upon other possible ways of organizing knowledge. Please think on these things.
