Abstract

This article reviews the research done by psychologist Carol Ryff and wants to show an example of the contributions that philosophy can make to experimental science. Among its premises is that the key to a science is not so much the performance of verifiable experiments, which is necessary in experimental science, but rather its agreement with reality. Hence, the specific knowledge of the various disciplines, in some cases, tends to be grouped into a movement that is first multidisciplinary, then interdisciplinary, and finally transdisciplinary. Normally this tendency does not materialize, but in some cases like the one shown, it does. The process responds to a scientific dynamic of advancing in a holistic knowledge that transcends the limits or barriers raised by some interpretations of scientific activity.
