Interdisciplinarity is a hallmark of contemporary knowledge
production. This book introduces a Philosophy of
Interdisciplinarity at the intersection of science, society and
sustainability. In light of the ambivalence of the technosciences
and the challenge of sustainable development in the Anthropocene,
this engaged philosophy provides a novel critical perspective on
interdisciplinarity in science policy and research practice. It
draws upon the original spirit of interdisciplinarity as an
environmentalist concept and advocates an essential change in
human-nature relations. The author utilizes the rich tradition of
philosophy for case study analysis and develops a framework to
disentangle the various forms of inter- and transdisciplinarity.
Philosophy of Interdisciplinarity offers a foundation for a
critical-reflexive program of interdisciplinarity conducive to a
sustainable future for our knowledge society and contributes to
fields such as sustainability sciences, social ecology,
environmental ethics, technology assessment, complex systems,
philosophy of nature, and philosophy of science. It injects a fresh
way of thinking on interdisciplinarity - and supports researchers
as well as science policy makers, university managers, and academic
administrators in critical-reflexive knowledge production for
sustainable development.
