INTER / TRANSDISCIPLINARITY

Introduction

Kata Beilin

The current socio-environmental crisis requires transdisciplinary research because the excessive disciplinary divisions may have contributed to it. The divisions between fields of knowledge—sciences focused on the natural realm, and humanities focused on politics and culture—prompted scientific progress, followed by economic expansion. But these divisions also led to a loss of wholistic ways of thinking able to respond to the complexity of real issues.
