- The "antidiscipline" stems from the idea that knowledge is gained and science progresses through conflict and resolution. - For every parent topic there is a more fundamental field that challenges that is dubbed the antidiscipline. - Art could be a parent discipline while brain science could be seen as its antidiscipline. --- Wilson argues that knowledge is gained and science progresses through a process of conflict and resolution. For every parent discipline, there is a more fundamental field, an antidiscipline that challenges its methods and claims (Wilson 1977; Kandel 1979). Typically, the parent discipline is larger in scope and deeper in content, and it ends up incorporating and benefiting from the antidiscipline. These are evolving relationships, as we can see with art and brain science. Art and art history are the parent disciplines, and brain science is their antidiscipline - [[Reductionism in Art and Brain Science]]
