CARBONARA, Vanderlei. Interdisciplinarity and ethics: an approach beyond the epistemological perspective. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.24, e019034.  Epub 31-Jul-2020. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v24.e019034.

This article occupies, in a broad sense, a theme already established by academic research from different areas of knowledge: an interdisciplinarity. It is no longer necessary to justify the relevance of such studies, because thediscourses that point to an emergence of overcoming isolation between disciplines are predominant. Strictly speaking, this article places the theme ofinterdisciplinarity in a perspective that is not common among the most recurrent debates on the subject: it assumes the primacy of ethics over epistemology in the justification of interdisciplinarity. After a preliminary exploration of what is characteristic in the definitions of discipline and interdisciplinarity, the text continues to explore the ethical primacy under two aspects: first, it seeks to highlight an ethical dimension that constitutes interdisciplinarity; Then the philosophical hermeneutics takes the relationship between understanding and deliberation to position the primacy of ethics over epistemology in the justification of interdisciplinarity. This is a theoretical study that, in an analytical and interpretative way, returns to preliminary definitions and reaches a conceptual construction supported by the studied theoretical perspectives. In order to support the preliminary definitions of discipline and interdisciplinarity, the texts analyzed are from Pombo (2008) and Paviani (2008). From Bombassaro (2014) is indicated the ethical content in the debate on interdisciplinarity and, with Rorty (1997), solidarity is demarcated as a process of knowledge construction. The argument about the primacy of ethics is especially built with support in Gadamer (2004). The conceptual path presented here aims to offer subsidies so that the debates on interdisciplinarity in different sectors of society pay special attention to the ethical implications present - from those in which knowledge is developed, to those that disseminate and apply it.
