The concept of interdisciplinary dialogue by Anna Teresa Tymieniecka

Abstract

To meet the eternal human desire to know and understand Everything, Anna Teresa Tymieniecka (1923–2014) had taken an interdisciplinary dialogue with representatives of the humanities, social sciences, the natural sciences and with the artistic environment. Polish philosopher found the interdisciplinary dialogue as the only way that you can reach the biggest goal of mankind, which ultimately is hiding under the issue of “knowledge and understanding of Everything”. Indeed, this issue is the meaning of human life and of life itself and this question has captured the human mind. Tymieniecka she saw this direction of human struggle both in philosophy and in the natural sciences as well as in artistic creativity. She had proposed a ground for interdisciplinary dialogue. It is the phenomenology of life. The phenomenology of life is a method, a language and a critique of human cognition widely defined as the scientific.
