Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis of the epistemological frameworks regarding academic disciplines in the work of two prominent 20th-century French thinkers: Edgar Morin and Michel Foucault. The author examines how both intellectual projects transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, fundamentally questioning the compartmentalization of knowledge.
The study contrasts Morin’s concept of "transdisciplinarity" and "complex thought"—which aims to interlink fragmented fields of knowledge—with Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical methods. Focusing on Foucault’s major works, particularly The Order of Things and Discipline and Punish, Dávila demonstrates how Foucault analyzes "discipline" dualistically: both as an epistemic organization of knowledge (episteme) and as a mechanism of power designed to train, regulate, and control human subjects.
