All the Greek thinkers were not domain experts but had inter disciplinary knowledge across mathematics, astronomy , medicine , philosophy etc.
They did not confine their intellect to a particular field of knowledge though they may have given more attention to a particular area.
The one thing you must not do to your mind
History of Knowledge is testimony to this fact. The same interdisciplinary approach is seen in the ancient Indian knowledge system.
The Arabic-Persian-Turkish knowledge world continued with the Greek system of Cross sectoral knowledge.
The modern world is obsessed with hardcore domain knowledge. But those who continued with the Inter-Disciplinary & Cross Sectoral Knowledge in the form of hobbies were the greatest thinkers & innovators of our times.
The National Education Policy 2020 of India tries to harmonise Inter-Disciplinary & Cross Sectoral Knowledge approach with the Domain knowledge system. This is a good step in the development of knowledge ecosystem.
