One of the most distinctive characteristics of modern democratic societies is the exponential increase in complexity understood not as a mere juxtaposition of equivalent relationships but, much more properly, as a multiplicity of integrated systems of heterogeneous equivalences that often present a non-uniform architecture. linear so that any imbalance or alteration at one end generates sudden alterations in the whole. In reality, this is also the same dynamic that governs today the relationships between the various disciplines that make up knowledge. The academic division of knowledge into compartmentalized disciplines, that “very special” that contributed so much to the development of the different sciences and that is at the origin of our enlightened vision of the world, has been transformed into a kind of “cognitive obsolescence” due to a a method that no longer lives up to its promise of clarifying, almost in the Heideggerian sense, the object on which it falls.
The reason for this lies in the “polyhedral nature” of reality. To capture the essence of any phenomenon, even of apparent simplicity, a multidisciplinary approach is required that accounts for the complex phenomenon that is knowledge today. We are witnessing a growing globalization of knowledge in a very particular sense. It is not only a quantitative increase in the theoretical connections that converge UK Phone Number on complex realities, but the very definition of the object of knowledge is qualitatively determined by the method itself. History, economics, law or philosophy increasingly configure unified fields of knowledge that dissolve the tightness of languages, concepts and their own academic definitions. The substantial increase in heterogeneous university itineraries, made up of various disciplines that traditionally followed independent courses, is the best proof of all this. In this sense, the new CLUB H which FIDE offers today to its members and associates aims to echo these new realities. The old definition of humanities is manifestly insufficient for what we want to express, but nevertheless it remains necessary to provide continuity to the value chain of knowledge with a multidisciplinary vocation.
This new “ecumenical” vocation of knowledge does not seek any closure, nor does it designate a completed horizon or a station of arrival. It is a sign of openness to the complexity of new times and the future insertion of other areas of knowledge. Today, any jurist needs to integrate a historical perspective and an economic horizon into his knowledge, in the same way that the historian needs a legal discipline and methodology or the economist needs historical knowledge and a philosophical horizon. And of course, all these perspectives must also be integrated with a scientific vision of the world in which professionals and specialists from different scientific disciplines participate, from biology to neuroscience, from physics to anthropology, with the aim of providing multidisciplinary knowledge of all areas of reality. Today it is not possible to ignore not only the transcendental importance of the scientific method for the analysis of any reality, but also the extraordinary contribution of the particular physical sciences that provide new perspectives in the analysis of the different phenomena under investigation.
