Abstract
An interdisciplinary didactic experiment was conducted during 2002 at the Tor Vergata University of Rome (Italy). Four seminars (open to all undergraduates) were held, each involving eight 45-minute sessions and worth four credits (a three-year first degree requires 180 credits overall). The topics of the seminars were ‘Order and Disorder’, ‘Similar and dissimilar’, ‘Time’ and ‘An anatomy of emotions and a language of organs’. The 14 instructors involved belong to the Arts and Sciences faculties. About a hundred students overall enroled in the seminars.
