Summary/Abstract: In the space of the world’s resignification, we welcome the fruitful transdisciplinary meeting with our friend and colleague Marius Costel Esi, whose volume „Demarcatie si identitate intr-o abordare transdisciplinara a nivelurilor de realitate” has been published at the prestigious Didactica si Pedagogica Publishing House from Bucharest. The current volume doesn’t represent a simple exegesis to the volumes of Basarab Nicolescu and Stefan Lupascu. The author aims to investigate in the horizon of transdisciplinarity, the issue of bounderies and identity in the epistemologic horizon of metatheoretical unification of knowledge. Taking the red line a bit further, we notice in the relationship between boundaries and identity a bold emphasis on the issue of the relationship between Ego and Alterity which deconstructs Alterity in Same and Other. Alterity is no longer an antropological one however, or visibly ontological, but a gnoseological one, built in our own knowledge. The issue of the levels of reality is one of great actuality, being a promising opening towards the onto-gnoseological and semiological unification of knowledge. In the distinction philosophy – science, the horizons of knowledge are being blurred, opening beyond the bounderies of each discipline towards the areas of transparency to knowledge, which unifies the levels of reality.
