Between Interiority and the World

Transdisciplinary glances between Romano Guardini's Weltanschauung and Pitirim A. Sorokin's integral epistemology

Abstract

The need to delineate cognitive “seeings” to understand the increasingly complex reality is a challenge in the contemporary epistemological debate. In this scenario, transdisciplinarity emerges as a valid reference to outline an integral form of knowledge. Both Guardini’s Weltanschauung and Sorokin’s integral epistemology seem to offer epistemological convergent “seeings”, attuned to a transdisciplinary approach. The essay proposes a rereading of this authors’ thought in the light of this intuition.
