My academic background is in the areas of theology and philosophy. I did\u00a0post-doctoral work on Alfred North Whitehead and thus got involved in the dialogue\u00a0with natural scientists. Whitehead was a mathematician and amateur scientist\u00a0and provided stimulating interdisciplinary insights. One of his basic interests\u00a0was the complexity of cultural evolution. He acknowledged the fact that in\u00a0modernity cultures center very much on mathematized science, and, to be sure, as\u00a0a mathematician, he was in favor of this development. However, he observed\u00a0that it comes with a price. He saw the danger that a culture strongly focused on\u00a0mathematized sciences lowers or even distorts sensitivities for religious, ethical\u00a0and aesthetic dynamics. He argued that a vibrant culture has to balance these\u00a0various dimensions and strive for their mutual strengthening. I found this perspective quite convincing. With this background in mind today, I should like to speak first about the relevance of creating different specific forms and formats in the organization of interdisciplinary research and dialogue.<\/p>\n
