Interweaving the Sciences: the transdisciplinarization of the Anthropocene

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Anthropocene has been considered a geological period of high risk due to the indiscriminate use of natural resources and the lifestyle assumed by the world population, to the detriment of ecosystem conservation. The set of problems requires a transdisciplinary scientific approach due to its complexity. But despite considerable advances, the anthropocene model is still considered controversial by the social sciences and humanities. The article brings the transdisciplinary approach as a methodological and epistemological tool to improve the connections between natural and human sciences in a new perspective to face realities (non-resistance zones) that underpin anthropocene transdisciplinarization.
