CONTRIBUTIONS OF GONZÁLEZ REY’S QUALITATIVE EPISTEMOLOGY TO TRANSDISCIPLINARY STUDIESABSTRACT
This paper aims to reflect about the use of González Rey’s Qualitative Epistemology as an alternative to the construction of transdisciplinary studies. From this proposal, it was showed the transdisciplinary and its foundations, discussing the ways to build a new science. In addition, it was debated the concepts of complexity to then evidence how the approach taken by the author and his subjectivity and qualitative research understanding dialogue with such perspective. This article observes that González Rey’s thought is a possibility for a transdisciplinary study because it approaches the methodological pillars: the complexity thinking and the Hidden Third are present in his works, and the author also walks towards the understanding of levels of reality. In addition, the author breaks up with the subject simplification and any kind of dogma, and establishes a path for conducting a research that questions the hegemonic studies.
