Abstract

Scientific research, but also the taxonomy of sciences, are confronted with relatively unclear concepts, going to terminological and even conceptual confusions about entities such as discipline/disciplinarity, multidisciplinarity or pluridisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity. The paper aims to examine this conceptual family in a logical and semantic manner and suggests definitions and distinctions of content that avoid the ambiguity of the use of related terms and help construct arguments about the phenomenology of research and scientific knowledge. Finally, the study proposes a specific paradigm for moving from disciplinarity, through intermediary stages, to transdisciplinarity (the latter seen as a secondary disciplinarity).
