[Air-l] What is a discipline.

[Paolo Manzelli]

Dear Christian Nelson ,

for instance :

"Women training can be a discipline in the  context of academy",  because the
disciplinary approach, (build up by August Compte) was  formulated for improving
in the changing society a "Dividi and Impera old methodology " in a way the
financial or industrial capital can recompose or integrate, following a business
criteria,  the disciplinary teaching approach for improving the efficiency and
the economic productivity of the intellectual work force.

My best regards Paolo Manzelli
