From Interdisciplinary towards Dialogic Relations

Abstract

In 20^th century thought, subjectivity has been put to the fore. In science, in philosophy and in theology (including the mode of their interaction) the problem of interdisciplinary research is to a great extent combined with the problem of dialogue. This explains why the dominant theme becomes that of communication, rather than unification: participants in the dialogue must somehow differ from one another, otherwise there will remain but a single subject who has no one to enter in either interdisciplinary or dialogic relations with. This will mean coming back to soliloquy.
