The work on "History of Disciplines: Emergence of Economics and the Reemergence of Political Economy" is very interesting to read and it is well written. I would just like to point out that references for the information in the introduction are missing.OwlUwl (discuss • contribs) 17:40, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

Under the headline "History of Disciplines: Pharmacology and one of its Subdisciplines" there was a part of the first paragraph that I found very engaging. The part was: "Although he presented his work to the Paris Academy in 1809, the actual emergence of pharmacology as a separate scientific discipline was not until 1847, when its first university position was established with the appointment of Rudolf Buchheim as professor of pharmacology at the University of Dorpat in Estonia.", I would love the author to motivate what caused the discipline not to be considered a discipline although scientific work in it was presented to an academic institution.

The contribution on "History of Disciplines: The Emergence and Derision of Herbalism" is also very interesting. I am only wondering about the source of the definiton of a discipline as mentioned in the following quote: "The word discipline is defined as "a branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education".
