Abstract

This article discusses interdisciplinarity and its conceptions, methods and
obstacles, both in scientific research and in contemporary higher education, taking into account a
relevant existing production on the subject. In order to resize and better understand the current debate on interdisciplinarity, the ideas of the main theoreticians published in the last five years are
analyzed, presenting conclusions about conceptions and obstacles that are the most relevant in
theory and in interdisciplinary practice nowadays. It is, therefore, an integrative review, of a
descriptive nature. Particular emphasis is given to the multiplicity of interdisciplinary knowledge
derived from the complexity of the human being, his thinking, his nature and the world today.
The results show, therefore, the polysemic character of interdisciplinarity, reaffirming its dynamic
and reflexive nature. The obstacles encountered - institutional, people-related, and
epistemological - reveal the challenges to their practice. Moving forward is a necessity for its
multiple achievement possibilities.
