Summary/Abstract: The author describes her own experiences in interdisciplinary studies, from the turn of the 1980s to the present. She outlines research concepts, from intuitive activities in the field of humanities to contemporary, more methodologically conscious approaches. She recalls conferences, publications and research projects carried out at the Faculty of Artes Liberales, which aimed to bring the humanities and life sciences together. She reflects on the reasons for the complete destruction of the primary community of sciences and arts, which existed in culture from Antiquity to the end of the early modern era. She sees them in the changes of the anthropological model, in particular in rejecting the ideal of paideia (humanitas). Finally, she presents and reflects on the propositions concerning interdisciplinary research, selected from the current status quaestionis.
