METHODOLOGY OF TRANSDISCIPLINARITY

Abstract

In this article, I will describe the methodology of transdisciplinarity. My analysis will be divided in several parts: what means “beyond disciplines”; the distinction between multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, indisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity; the definition of disciplinary boundaries; the axioms of the methodology of transdisciplinarity: the notion of “levels of Reality; the logic of included middle; and the universal interdependence. I will conclude by asserting that we are at the threshold of a New Renaissance.

Keywords: complexity, included middle, knowledge, reality, transdisciplinarity
