Peter Strohschneider hat in einem vielbeachteten Beitrag transformative und transdisziplinäre Wissenschaft scharf angegriffen, insbesondere deren Orientierung am ,,Solutionismus“. Die Kritik erscheint in neuem Licht, wenn der Begriff Solutionismus so aufgefasst wird, wie er international etabliert ist: als Fixierung auf schnelle, technische Problemlösungen. Dann erweist sich Strohschneiders Vorwurf als strategische Abgrenzung der ,,guten“, ,,reinen“ Wissenschaft von angeblich zweifelhafter Forschung.

Keywords: boundary-work; problem solving; solutionism; transdisciplinarity

More about this publication?

  • GAIA is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to inter- and transdisciplinary research on and for sustainability transformations.

    Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.

    GAIA is an ISI-journal, listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index and in Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences.

    All contributions undergo a double-blind peer review.
