Abstract: The article argues that transdisciplinarity in general and transdisciplinary hermeneutics in particular offers a framework for people to connect with reality integrating rationality, emotions, the corporal and the spirituality. Such integration is important in realizing our dreams and utopias, as is illustrated with Scharmer’s concept of “presencing” and Bloch’s concept of “anticipative consciousness”. It is equally important in diminishing social inertia vis--vis problems like Climate Change or sustainability in general. This is illustrated presenting ideas of various philosophers, writers and artists, among them Hannah Arendt, Joseph Beuys and Norma Bateson. Subsequently a proposal for a transdisciplinary hermeneutics is presented as a dialogue with Reality, integrating experiential, formal and direct knowing allowing us to connect with both our inner self and the outside world, listening to how we allow the world to disclose itself. Finally it mentions how such a hermeneutical practice can be realized in spaces of imagination and experimentation.
