Abstract

The article develops formulations around concepts from transdisciplinarity as a methodology to think and interpret the processes of construction of knowledge. The inter-epistemic dialogue of the conceptual framework begins at the genesis of transdisciplinarity, and is sensitive to understand the complexity of university knowledge and think from transdisciplinarity to educate and learn together with society. In conclusion, a way of thinking about university knowledge in the context of the globalized era requires: a transdisciplinary approach, complex thinking, transdisciplinary awareness, spirituality, relationship with nature and creativity.
