Ecology of Systems
Sometimes it's fun to re-compartmentalize i.e. keep thinking in terms of "subjects" (as in "academic subjects" aka "disciplines") just different ones. Be inventive.
For example the way psychology managed to squeeze into the liberal arts and overlap religion; that sure changed how people compartmentalized.

You didn't have a large medical establishment working alongside the church to address "mental illness" (Foucault talks about all this of course).
When I studied Wittgenstein's stuff at Princeton under Rorty et al, I kept bopping back and forth between Philosophy and Religion departments for classes, yet I think his investigations also fall between Anthropology and Psychology (both still young disciplines in his day -- he wrote about both).
