This paper intends to discuss the fundaments of transdisciplinarity in the context of a research project, which gathers sociologists and psychologists to work on the issue of criminality, which convenes the low-income and often black – Brazilian youth. Basarab Nicolescu’s "Manifesto of Transdisiciplinarity" (1999), in which this discussion is based, proposes that human beings should change their position towards other human beings and towards nature. Thus, we make an effort to spot the philosophical thought, which made possible the leap from a descriptive, disciplinary science into a form of science that is more connected with practice, that is able to overcome false dualities and which seeks to produce knowledge based on the logic of complexity.
