| dc.description.abstract | The methodology of transdisciplinarity is founded on three postulates:
there are, in Nature and in our knowledge of Nature, different levels of Reality and,
correspondingly, different levels of perception; the passage from one level of Reality
to another is insured by the logic of the included middle; and the structure of the
totality of levels of Reality or perception is a complex structure: every level is what
it is because all the levels exist at the same time. After giving an exposition of these
postulates the author contends that transdisciplinarity does not rest on a transfer
from modern science. Instead, modern science, via its most general aspects, makes
it possible to identify the postulates of transdisciplinarity. However, once they are
formulated they have a much wider validity then in modern science itself, namely
they could be applied in the field of education and culture.
It is argued that transdisciplinary education, founded on the transdisciplinary
methodology, will allow scientists to establish links between persons, facts, images,
representations, fields of knowledge and action. | en |
