Abstract
This chapter explores how we can best understand the concept of transdisciplinarity — actually a more crucial term than interdisciplinarity in understanding our current situation. I frame my argument in environmental terms, arguing that sustainability should become the master trope of transdisciplinarity. This section concludes with the claim that the central element of transdisciplinarity, aka the coproduction of knowledge, implies the recognition of limits to knowledge production — necessarily a repugnant notion for the academic status quo.
