Abstract
The article offers an attempt to compare the complex approach to Oriental studies with the phenomenon of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research. One has to stress that the term "complex approach" has not yet been fully established. Therefore, every scholar has to explain and identify it according to his research background. Current discussions about the place of Oriental studies in the framework of humanities have shown that this discipline is mistakenly described as "interdisciplinary". Indeed, the interdisciplinary research in the field of Oriental studies covers on average about 10% of the total. The recent development of digital research has revealed a much greater perspective for Oriental studies in a transdisciplinary approach. As a whole, Oriental studies remain a discipline, which continues to be developed in course of a constant theoretical and methodological search. At the same time, this is also "practice-oriented" research, which combines theory, empirical and material findings. Transdisciplinary research, therefore, significantly enhances the results by allowing to conduct of multi-level research. It also allows a precise description of the complex problems of Eastern societies by using the immanent approach to the subject, applying various information constructs and also modern digital tools.
