Summary/Abstract: Starting from the term “transdisciplinarity”, launched by Jean Piaget and revitalized by Basarab Nicolescu – in the sense originally intended, by emphasizing the meaning of “beyond”, in addition to the “between” and the “in” of the Latin prefix “trans-” –, our paper attempts to illustrate the induction of the false Manichean perception of the science–religion dichotomy, a perception which is, in our opinion, at the root of the current problems of mankind. In this sense, after a historical overview of the concept of transdisciplinarity, as the crowning of interdisciplinarity, using Nicolesco’s concept of “the hidden third” and some examples from the poetry of Mihai Eminescu, we try to reveal how the “weak” offspring of Science (including Philology) – seen from the perspective of scientism as a doctrine of epistemology – could reinvigorate the increasingly dense but at the same time arid field of knowledge.
