"What really exist are problems—not subjects but problems. And when someone is interested in a problem and wants to solve it, then there is something that is really serious." http://www.the-rathouse.com/Intro-Philos-Sci/2-Method.html …

interdisciplinary work is done by people who don't know anything well. (Of course, when done by people who really understand two sets of deep principles it can be marvellous.)
Hmm. Quibbling with my quibble, I like your quote more & more. Insofar as a subject is live, active, it really is defined by a set of problems - and, even more important - a surrounding narrative around them. Maybe narrative + problems + deep principles is a good conception?

Very excited by this conception! Particularly if one conceives of problems as not just problems narrowly conceived, but as a surrounding penumbra of folklore, partial progress, and so on.

Oana - what is this? It's very interesting!
