The Communicative Mind is the book for anyone interested in communication in general, and specifically for those interested in cognitive science, psychology, sociology, philosophy, semantics, etc. Author has made attempts to keep it an easy read for the general reader for a qualitative grasp. Specialists also will take the most out of it through her thorough explanations and her ideas linked with many milestone studies in the field.

Importance of Inter-Disciplinary Studies

After Plato and Aristotle, the knowledge of the world has been systematically analyzed and different disciplines have come into existence. Through the formal and (mostly) non-formal way, people had engaged their curious minds inquiring into different disciplines. In the 19th and 20th centuries, tremendous explorations have taken place. And many more are engaged in explorations in recent times. We can see how scientists have become more and more specialized over a period of time. The lacunae that remained within this period were the negligence of related fields/factors.

Today all over the world, the need of interdisciplinary studies has been pointed out. To study any ‘problem/task’ better, many researchers, scientists, practitioners in related domains realized the essence of multi/ inter/ trans-disciplinary studies.
