The integration of knowledge is one of the underlying principles of the Doctoral Program in studies of Environmental and Development. Within this context, the examination of the dichotomies nature/ society, man/animal, sciences/humanities has been considerered crucial. The present reflections revolve around some of the concepts used in the discussion of these dichotomies, resorting to concepts such as reduction, holism and incommensurability. In conclusion, it offers a perspective on the routes to be taken by interdisciplinary work that starts from the antinomy understanding/explaining.
