Keywords: disciplinarity, totality, Marxism.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the contributions of Marxist critical view for studies related to the theme of interdisciplinarity. The methodological approach of this research was the literature of the Marxist work and thinkers who seek alternatives to overcome disciplinary teaching logic. In the text are exposed the weaknesses of non-dialectical visions of education in their proposed for multi, inter or transdisciplinary. Noteworthy is the emphasis of these views on individuality and non-critical education, able to lead educators to a merely technical education. They address the interdisciplinarity as a phenomenon that sprouted in isolation from society, they are considering the issue as if it were purely a natural result of the social process. Defends the need to redo all lost through totality with the thought of the founders of historical and dialectical materialism. The totality, under the Marxist understanding, is a category able to contribute to the subject and it´s understood as a synthesis of multiple forms that have a concrete object, including its historicity. This category assumes that the knowledge of the parts and all conjecture reciprocity as a way to overcome fragmentation, to build multiple determinations and to move towards a new form of society.
