DRAWIN, Carlos Roberto. The man and the method: reflections on the philosophical dimensions of transdisciplinarity . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp. 311-329. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n1p311-329.

This article aims to establish some philosophical references to determine the difference between inter and transdisciplinarity. It is not a question of proposing a previously established model of transdisciplinary research since this is based on the concrete problems that require this type of approach. However, we intend to propose some reflective elements that may contribute to its establishment and differentiation. Among others, we shall highlight, firstly, that transdisciplinary responds to a historical necessity that unfolds into a logical necessity. Secondly, that it expresses an unavoidable ethical requirement and, finally, that it has an anthropological dimension. These three elements converge in the provision of critical openness that should characterize transdisciplinary practices.

Keywords : Transdisciplinarity; Epistemology; Ethic; Philosophical Anthropology.
