  • The interdisciplinarity revolution Vincenzo Politi Filosofía Thomas Kuhn Interdisciplinarity Rhetoric of Science Scientific Disciplines Scientific Revolutions Contemporary interdisciplinary research is often described as bringing some important changes in the structure and aims of the scientific enterprise. Sometimes, it is even characterized as a sort of Kuhnian scientific revolution. In this paper, the analogy between interdisciplinarity and scientific revolu- tions will be analysed. It will be suggested that the way in which interdisciplinarity is promoted looks simi- lar to how new paradigms were described and defended in some episodes of revolutionary scientific change. However, contrary to what happens during some scientific revolutions, the rhetoric with which interdisci- plinarity is promoted does not seem to be accompanied by a strong agreement about what interdisciplinar- ity actually is. In the end, contemporary interdisciplinarity could be defined as being in a ‘pre-paradigmatic’ phase, with the very talk promoting interdisciplinarity being a possible obstacle to its maturity. 2019 artículo científico 0495-4548 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339767297006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767297006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767297006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767297006/339767297006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3397/339767297006/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3397 THEORIA.
