Transdisciplinarity and μεταξύ

Knowledge in the Relational Space Between Disciplines

Abstract

If many phenomena in contemporary research possess an intrinsically relational structure, knowledge adequate to them cannot be contained within a single discipline. The literature on transdisciplinarity, however, rarely thematizes the epistemic space in which the relation between forms of knowledge becomes productive of knowledge. This contribution proposes to interpret that space through the concept of μεταξύ, understood not as synthesis but as a relational structure that allows different perspectives to enter into relation without being reduced to one another.
