<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>This paper presents three terms used in cross-disciplinarity. Multidisciplinarity is regarded
as collaboration within a discipline doing parallel tasks toward a common goal (collaboration
in the form of coordination). Interdisciplinarity requires cooperation toward the same
goal across one or two disciplines, with some effort in defining common goals. While
researchers who engage in multidisciplinarity work in parallel or sequential from disciplinary
specific base to address common problem, researchers who engage in interdisciplinarity work
jointly but from disciplinary specific basis to address common problem. Transdisciplinarity
concerns working jointly using a shared conceptual framework drawing upon disciplinary
specific theories, concepts and approaches to address common problem. The paper also discusses
criteria of cross-disciplinary inquiry into creativity research for serving the good.</p><p><italic>Keywords: </italic>Creativity, Cross-disciplinarity, The good, Inquiry, and Criteria.</p>
