- Title
Multidisciplinary Approach and Literature as Knowledge Area.
- Authors
Yadav, Bir Singh
- Abstract
Knowledge is the grace, glory, and dignity of human beings as it leads to peace, progress, prosperity and happiness of the world, thereby in its holistic form it creates a halo of admiration with magnetic aura around the human face elevating and uplifting the mortal beings to divine status. Hence the flow of the entire peace and sustainable development emerges out of the holistic whole of the knowledge that comes through the pipelines of the multidisciplinary approach. In this holistic system of multidisciplinary approach, different branches of knowledge crossing their boundaries are merged together in such a harmonious way that without harming one another they form a broad system to generate pure knowledge with zero or minimum negative effect coupled with maximum welfare of the human and non-human world. When knowledge of one discipline crossing its boundaries goes to the other discipline, it does not harm that discipline but enriches it through idealization by adding something of nobility to it that makes its knowledge more beneficial, valid, vast, true and useful. But the wrong thing happening in the present world is that knowledge is being abused and misused in the name of the specialization. Currently in the epistemological field the main problem is that the modern scientific culture accomplished with modern technology and blinded with material progress is rapidly moving towards its own annihilation without caring and curing the loss of the non-human world as well as moral and spiritual values. Literature which has the right to say everything in any way provides fertile ground to multidisciplinary system of knowledge for the welfare of the world as a whole. Hence this paper concentrating on the seminal works of some literary bards intends to reflect how different disciplines interwoven in the web of literature create a whole of holistic knowledge that shapes better and bright future for humanity on this planet.
