Abstract

The article shows some epistemological limits to what is happening to different scientific disciplines when they get reduced to their specific field with exclusivity. It’s said that the reality of nature and society is turning into a bigger complexity, difficult to understand under only one disciplinary perspective or under the look of a sole speciality. That’s why the method of interdiscipline, – which is been developed since the mid 20th century – conceiveid primarily as a dialogue among a range of disciplines put together around an object of study, is now seen as a new epistemological paradigm that can lead to a better understanding of natural and social reality.
