INTERDISCIPLINARY SYNTHESIS AND SOCIAL-HUMANITARIAN SCIENCES: ON THE QUESTION OF CLEARING SOME CONCEPTS AND VECTORS OF RESEARCH

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the problem of specification and analysis of concepts expressing different versions of interdisciplinary synthesis in the sphere of social-humanitarian knowledge. Interdisciplinary synthesis is the result of interdisciplinary interaction although not in all cases interdisciplinary interaction is completed with interdisciplinary synthesis. There are different versions of such synthesis: ultra-disciplinary synthesis, cross-disciplinary synthesis, multidisciplinary synthesis, transdisciplinary synthesis. Modern social scientists set the most hopes on transdisciplinary synthesis as the possibility of combination and deconstruction of different fragments of social-humanitarian knowledge.
