But
Hi.
"This is evidenced in the upsurge in interest in integrating the insights from other disciplines into economics: history, psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology, sociology and neuroscience to name but six." [From The Guardian.]
What is the meaning of the preposition (conjunction?) "but" in the sentence? Does it mean not counting [other, not mentioned in the article, six disciplines] ?
Thank you.
