Abstract
Building on two essays previously published in Earth's Future, this Commentary aims to further and expand the debate by considering two indirectly correlated aspects: interdisciplinarity and internationalism, both of which can find a powerful ally in the notion of the Anthropocene. The two essays respectively address the cross-disciplinary/trans-disciplinary reach of the Anthropocene (Zalasiewicz et al. 2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020ef001896) and its popular expansion and acceptance (Żuk & Żuk, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023ef004045). The Commentary shows how the Anthropocene has produced an overarching narrative which is potentially enabling in a world divided by nationalism and where science is fractured by disciplinary boundaries. It suggests how the Anthropocene concept may be more effectively understood and used in relationship to these two dimensions.
