Contradiction and interdisciplinary procedure as principles of scientific research

Abstract

This article deals with the scientific and epistemological evaluation of "contradiction". In our globalized world, scientific thinking without interactive communication is not possible. Due to the lack of interactivity between different disciplines with their incompatible assumptions, Wallner proposed the epistemological concept of "Strangification" as the principle of his Constructive Realism. Every thinker is asked to put the input of their own discipline of thought in the topos of a completely different discipline of thought. Through confrontation between the self and the strange one can obtain autonomous corrections or a reconstruction of the self in the construction of theory and practice. Wallner’s interaction and strangification has the activation of scientific theory in the construct of the logic of the stranger, i.e. in the interculturality. The comparative philosophical method of thinking may also be presented as a food for thought. Part of Wallner’s epistemological principle of “Strangification” corresponds to H. Hashi’s “The Field of Between” who refers to the necessity of the methodology of comparative reflections.
