| Opis: | This article presents a critical analysis of a present-day topic: The interdisciplinarityof the social and legal sciences. It establishes that in order to fulfill this objective,the indiscriminate use of the word inter- or transdisciplinarity does not suffice. It isnecessary to conduct a realistic study on the theoretical difficulties that runs counterto this objective. The study analyzes mainly three “epistemological obstacles” thatoppose team work in the following disciplines: (1) the problem of incommensurability between paradigms (Kuhn, Feyerabend), (2) the problem of the linguistic-relativityprinciple (Whorf, Sapir, Wittgenstein), and (3) the problem of close or autopoietical systems (Luhmann, Teubner). The article concludes that behind these obstacles there exists a significant amount of confusion, and even intellectual pedantry.Interdisciplinarity demands, beyond the overcoming of logical barriers, both a personal and antidogmatic attitude and a constant struggle against arrogance, vanity and professional chauvinism. |
