Philosophical Encounters: Essays on Method, Education and Teaching
Keywords:
Philosophy, Essays, CollectionSynopsis
The sciences, arts and philosophy have different methodological and epistemological perspectives about the world, however, they seek to express the same phenomena and objects, giving meaning to things and to man himself in this process. The relationship between these diverse perspectives can generate new conceptions of the world, more committed to understanding the whole and its relationship with the parts, and not just a tiny and specific compartment of the universe.
Interdisciplinarity, therefore, moves the entire process of meeting knowledge, generating new questions and new proposals for investigating the things of the world. Philosophy can be thought of as a guide for this interdisciplinarity, given its nature of seeking to understand the whole, but it should not be considered the only way to approach problems. Philosophical concepts, scientific functions and artistic affects / perceptions complement each other in the generation of a broader sense for phenomena, increasingly improving our relationship with the world, with the other and with ourselves.
