A Plea for a Transdisciplinary Chair: Tradition and Innovation

This paper advocates for the establishment of a transdisciplinary chair, arguing that cultural transmission through dialogue, which has been present in philosophy classes since antiquity, can adopt a reflective stance across all disciplines. The central focus is on the pitfalls of philosophical discourse and the risk of dehumanizing relationships in favor of conditioned behavior. The importance of the transdisciplinary process that promotes personal development in a collective context and the necessity of dialogue to understand and apply laws, as opposed to blind obedience and exclusivism, is emphasized. Transdisciplinary training is presented as a means to stimulate dialogic thinking and create a fertile cooperation between disciplines, fostering the evolution of consciousness within educational institutions inspired by our traditional knowledge.
