This paper examines the tension between two concepts that underpin the Theory of Knowledge and represent two opposing epistemological statuses: meaning and multidisciplinarity. Multidisciplinarity concerns a miniaturization of knowledge which divides reality into parts, thereby defining autonomous and specialized fields of knowledge. Meaning is the whole or the effect of the whole, and the meaningful part is that in which the whole is recognizable, that is, the effect of the whole.

Abstract

This paper examines the tension between two concepts that underpin the Theory of Knowledge and represent two opposing epistemological statuses: meaning and multidisciplinarity. Multidisciplinarity concerns a miniaturization of knowledge which divides reality into parts, thereby defining autonomous and specialized fields of knowledge. Meaning is the whole or the effect of the whole, and the meaningful part is that in which the whole is recognizable, that is, the effect of the whole.
