Description

Integrating major theoretical principles into transdisciplinary studies allows for a more nuanced evaluation of complex social problems and their respective solutions. Major theoretical principles from the discipline of philosophy, such as transitional anger, the difference principle, and the veil of ignorance, allow for one to reevaluate their initial perceptions of complex social problems, and allow for a “fairer” reaction, which will create a fairer response. This paper argues that these major theoretical principles found in the field of philosophy will be incorporated into transdisciplinary theoretical principles to allow for mindfulness towards initial reactions, biases, and existing privileges.
