Overview

This book offers an invaluable introduction to Integrative Transdisciplinarity (ITD). Integrative Transdisciplinarity (ITD) prepares scholars to contextualize, interpret, integrate, and develop new perspectives and approaches. It is grounded in complex thought, frames inquiry as a creative process and embraces the full humanity of the researcher. Its goal is to provide a conceptual context for conducting meaningful research with the greatest amount of freedom and creativity, while doing justice to the complexity of both researcher and research topic. ITD presents 5 interrelated dimensions that serve as a conceptual context and precondition for transdisciplinary inquiry: Inquiry-based,  Complex Thought, Creativity, Meta-paradigmatic, and Integration of the Inquirer.
