The application of spectral thinking to the plurality of sciences—recognizing that each science is haunted by what it excludes, and that together the sciences form a spectral field of presences and absences. Spectral Sciences studies the ghosts in each discipline: the questions not asked, the methods not used, the phenomena not studied, the voices not heard. And it studies how these absences shape the whole—how what one science excludes, another might include; how the spectral shadows of each field together form the shape of collective knowing.
