Transphilosophical bifurcations: transdisciplinarity does not eliminate disciplines, it makes them complex

Abstract

Among the many crises in colonial interpretations of transdisciplinarity is the false and senseless assumption that transdisciplinarity eliminates disciplines. Colonial thinking impedes the understanding and practice of transdisciplinarity and hijacks it in postmodernism; it leaves it in the hands of multidisciplinary disciplines. The same thing happens with complexity. As an objective, we support conceptions that show how transdisciplinarity does not kill the discipline but rather makes it more complex; they are derivations, results, or transphilosophical bifurcations. To this end, we turn to complex planetary decolonial transmethodologies with rhizomatic deconstruction in a deconstruction and reconstruction. In reconstruction, we answer questions such as:What colonial and therefore exclusive minds can engage in transdisciplinary exercises? No colonial mind can in any way break the abysmal thinking of what disciplines boast of power. Under what transdisciplines can we transdisciplinarity if the aim were to eliminate and sweep aside the sciences and disciplines? What about colonial minds? Can these complex thinking be exercised transdisciplinarily? Can they think inclusively, safeguarding the execrated from reductionism? Can these colonial minds of power do, live, dream complex thinking, research complex thinking, to glimpse and tear down the boundaries of disciplines and become transdisciplinary thinkers?
