ABSTRACT
As interdisciplinarity involves a scholar’s self-consciousness in the most comprehensive manner possible, the scholar’s personal context and cultural/historical location are understood to be a continuous part of knowledge production. Recently the author used an activity involving rings to describe and analyze the concept of the hierophany. The hierophany designates an event occurring as insiders reside corporeally in the overlapping domain of the sacred-profane. In considering the retooled concept of the hierophany one can see that it involves corporeal residence in an overlapping domain wherein objects are what they are simultaneously to something more. Knowledge ordering has a history that directs knowledge gathering. As an epistemological project the university was given birth by the intellectual organizing principles of European, white, male, medieval Christian theology to which philosophy and science were servants. In his foundational book Interdisciplinarity, Joe Moran has traced its transformative approach to the gathering and ordering of knowledge.
