Abstract
This paper aims to discuss some aspects of interdisciplinarity, by a single thread two central ideas: first, the importance of the issue to questions relating to knowledge; second, the delimitation of the field of reflection in which opposition to the specialization gained special prominence. The intention is to question whether the criticism of specialization is not contemporary consolidation of own disciplinary work and specialists, and this criticism would not have opened the way for discussions on interdisciplinarity. In this case, we chose three philosophers who seem to corroborate this view: Ortega y Gasset, Nietzsche and Adorno. In all three cases, we can see a defense of the need for openness to a broader knowledge. Finally, we intend to outline some relevant points about philosophy as a discipline and the place that the criticism of specialization takes in its reflection and how it would be opening for interdisciplinary work.
