The term "transdisciplinarity" applies to forms of research which are used by disciplines with the effect that their ways of thinking are rationally understandable, available, and can be activated beyond their boundaries for being able especially to contribute to solutions of problems which cannot be mastered purely disciplinary. This paper elaborates the thesis that the disciplines can fulfill best the request for transdisciplinarity if they develop, maintain, and activate their part of generalistic sciences and humanities in the largest possible breath. For the transdisciplinary border crossing in the sense of generalistic sciences and humanities, it has been proven efficient to search for general interpretations of disciplinary concepts, propositions, and theories which can be made understandable (possibly in standard language). Examples are given by applications of Formal Concept Analysis.
