Transdisciplinarity bonds according to Nicolescu with scientific research

Abstract

A sign of transdisciplinarity is being able to read between the lines, as it captures what is not explicitly stated, what is not said outright. Those seeking clarity should look for contradictions, complementarities, for example, between reason and passion, between different reasons, between quantitative and qualitative approaches, analog and digital methods, between pluri, inter and transdisciplinary parts. Nicolescu introduces meaning into science, through its dimensions of meaning, anti-meaning, and lack of meaning. It is the responsibility of each person to self-generate, in this case, their own method. Faith allows for a leap between levels of reality and knowledge, to build bridges between knowledge, without needing to appropriate them. From a systemic point of view, the greater the use of units of integration of knowledge, with complementarities (triangulations), the greater the probability of predicting actions or system equilibrium. It is worth asking, in each knowledge, what has remained, and what has changed, and what could change or remain when related to other knowledge. It would be appropriate to point out what limits the sciences with which a discipline relates. A level of reality that is not crossed is an epistemological obstacle that has been overcome. Does science develop the causes of its negation, calling for the help of doxa? Have scientific problems given way to transdisciplinary problems? Transdisciplinarity should not be, as it turns the idea into an object, into a discipline, and transdisciplinary must give way to transdisciplining, the verb that puts us into action to seek bridges and relationships. The results are the product of the interaction of levels, for example, of research and profession, which interact in doing science. Freedom allows for circulation between "the lines" of transdisciplinarity.
