Abstract
Stanley Fish diagnoses a fundamentally antidisciplinary impulse in the interdisciplinary project of theory， which is barely possible in Fish's view. Although interdisciplinary cooperation seems an ideal goal， it is unrealizable to replace drastically academic disciplines with a system based on undisciplined or antidisciplinary principles. While the interdisciplinary impulse of theory had been more politically motivated around the 1980s， interdisciplinary practices since the 1990s are increasingly focused on methodological innovation and disciplinary re-justification. When interdisciplinarity is becoming a new hot topic， it is of great significance to re-examine Fish's proposition about it， which will help us keep sober about the hope and potential implied in interdisciplinarity.
