Abstract

The words Interdisciplinarity and Resilience do not have so far unique and permanent meanings and definitions. Therefore, the present article is aimed to present the concepts of resilience and interdisciplinarity, and ask to what extent the coexistence of these two concepts leads to self-knowledge and self-development. The proposal here is to take the concept of interdisciplinarity in education and apply it directly to life. Does it collaborate with the education and actions of a person? Does interdisciplinarity help people know themselves better and feel reinvigorated? If interdisciplinarity is life, knowledge, reinvigoration, overcoming, is it reasonable to believe that the concept of resilience is present in the search for these elements? Why do some people show, during their lives, a greater ability to overcome difficult obstacles, how does it happen, and why are some people immobilized when they face difficulties while others overcome these difficulties and move on?
