Teaching and research, particularly but not only in universities, must be integrated in a global and transdisciplinary approach. In fact, teaching and research are parts of a single process; we have to train young people to take the infinite ways of access to the knowledge of reality (continuously integrating theory and practice).
No problem of reality can be explained by a particular academic discipline because problems are complex and evolving; we are still "prisoners", particularly in continental Europe, of a linear and separating thinking which forms hyper-specialists without doubts and unable to contextualize their skills and their experiences in complexity.
The hyper-specialization is the principle of the absolutization of viewpoints; only relativizing our intellectual certainties, making them potential of integration, we can regenerate our knowledge of reality as a process of knowledge in every dynamic and open reality of the world-of-life.
