Multidisciplinary Issues in Social Sciences

Abstract

Interdisciplinary is a theoretical and pedagogical approach and academic practice that is becoming more and more popular and widespread. Although interdisciplinary is the general name of certain theoretical, pedagogical and institutional activities, it has actually had a radical impact on disciplinary distinctions and has led different disciplines to redefine their epistemological and methodological boundaries. At the same time, interdisciplinary radically affects the structure of academic communities that have drawn their own symbolic and institutional boundaries with strict lines at times. In this study, the concept of interdisciplinary, which has become increasingly popular and influential, will be discussed in the context of the relatively long history of disciplinary distinctions, and different definitions of the concept and problematizations on the concept in different contexts will be critically analyzed. The principle of interdisciplinary in the development of modern science is assimilated on the basis of social work. Information occurs in a social context as a human activity. Therefore, both knowledge and the method of knowing, the society in which it emerged, tradition, history, religion, culture, etc. 
 How abstract can it be from its context? There are no universal and universally acceptable, definitive answers to similar questions. However, it can be stated that the concepts related to knowledge and science are handled and discussed in almost every historical period. Accordingly, knowledge, as one of the most fundamental problems of humanity, has been analyzed within the framework of religion and philosophy in ancient times. 
 This analysis is mostly carried out individually and knowledge is grounded in an isolated subject-object relationship. Early thinkers of antiquity saw knowledge as an act of rational justification. Recently, however, doubts about the representation of truth in modern science have been growing. Interdisciplinarity has almost become a keyword not only in today's academia, but also in the business world and different professional fields.
