Derivatives

consilient

adjective kənˈsɪlɪəntkənˈsɪliənt

The thing about consilient arguments - as the 150-year history of Darwin's argument for evolution by natural selection has shown - is that they oscillate.
Example sentencesExamples
- But again, I don't believe that top-down and bottom-up systems necessarily have to stand in opposition; the two models may ultimately prove consilient.
- In practice there seem to have been two major gulfs between these evidently consilient fields, both of which this important book makes initiatives to cross.
- The objective is to elucidate the predictions of alternate functional models and see if the character-state changes of independently derived phylogenetic analyses are consilient with them.
- The change is found in the broad, multidisciplinary coalitions of empirical scientists who have studied human nature at many different levels of analysis - and who find that the truth is consilient.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from con- + Latin -silient-, -siliens 'jumping' (as in resilient- resilient), after concurrent.
