Abstract

CAICEDO ORTIZ, Julián Andrés; ANGEL BAQUERO, Sergio  and  CUELLAR ARGOTE, Julián Andrés. A transdisciplinary political science in Colombia. Civilizar [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.28, pp.135-150. ISSN 1657-8953.

The article proposes an epistemological interpretation of the disciplinary development of political science in Colombia. Through a hermeneutical exercise it builds the need to think and recognize the political science in a (trans) disciplinary way to show then that in the process of formation of the different faculties have participated professionals from different branches, revealing the difficulty to set up programs with disciplinary specificities. The article concludes that this transdisciplinary methodology leads to a diversity and an evanescent definition of the object of study, that while not constituting an epistemological disadvantage, prove the lack of a cohesive and identity element for the discipline.

Keywords : Political science; epistemology; (trans) disciplinarity; Colombia.
