This article discusses the potential of a number of principles, elaborated by scientists of different areas, for rescuing the meaning of knowledge for life, a link lost by the practice of fragmentation. These are the holographic principle (David Bohm/Edgar Morin), the principle of complementarity of opposites (Niels Böhr), the principle of transdisciplinarity (Basarab Nicolescu), the uncertainty principle (Werner Heisenberg) and that of autopoiesis (H. Maturana e F. Varela) which are integrated in the theory of complexity and transdisciplinarity.
