Abstract

Transdisciplinary concepts have a particular cognitive value: they enable us to cross disciplinary boundaries and to establish new categories of the explored reality. This paper attempts to analyse conceptual relationships within the transdisciplinary concept attractors of self-evaluation which emerged at the intersection of social psychology and systems theory The analysis is based on the Conceptual Blending Theory. The genesis of the concept as well as salient relationships and cross-space mappings have been presented. Furthermore, explicative cross-space connectors in transdisciplinary knowledge transfer have been identified and described.
