In 1999 the biologist E.O. Wilson wrote a book with the title
Consilience - The Unity of Knowledge in which he argued for a multi-disciplinary science.

- Term införd år 1998 i sin vetenskapliga betydelse av den amerikanske sociobiologen och vetenskapsteoretikern Edward O. Wilson (f. 1929) för att beteckna allt vetandes enhet och kopplingen mellan olika vetenskaper, till exempel mellan sociologi och biologi, neurovetenskap och psykologi, mellan humanistiska, samhällsvetenskapliga, beteendevetenskapliga och politiska aspekter (som i miljöforskningen).#
- Termen har senare kommit att användas även om andra samgåenden som till exempel konciliens mellan konst och vetenskap.#
- Latin: concilium {uttal: kånnkhill´ium} förening, samfund, gemenskap.#
