Interdisciplinary study is a type of science which has become necessary after the shortcomings of specialization were found in science. Thus, we can say one reason that today the tendency is toward interdisciplinary, is specialization. Today mankind is facing complicated and multidimensional issues and consequently he needs multidimensional and interdisciplinary understanding and approaches to solve them. The goal of this article is to study the nature of knowledge and then to analyze the necessity of interdisciplinary studies in humanities according to Habermas’s point of view, a known representative of the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory. Using reliable texts and analytical methods, this study tries to answer to its main question, namely the nature of interdisciplinary approach in humanities. In the era ofmodernity, Habermas tries to show that the entirepart of humanmind abilitieshas been overcome by some of its part under the natural sciences and that it has prevented the recognition of the real world and created contrast between qualitative and quantitative methods in humanities. By criticizing the positivist approach and in the next step by proposing the theory of Communicative Action and Communicative Rationality, he emphasizes on the multidimensional nature of human knowledge and human issues and seeks to solve complex human issues through convergence and consensus on the ideal situation.

Contemporary developments in recent decades have led researchers and research institutes to focus on collaborativeand interdisciplinarystudies. Due to holistic necessary in understanding the problems and the complexityand multi-dimensionality nature of the issues which the researchers are faced, the ideathat the effort of scientificresearchersto solvea range ofissuesbased ontheirexpertise without the collaboration of expertsfrom otherdisciplines and even when the solutions provided; particularly in research related to social issues - may instead of providing solutions for all aspects of the problem, causing multiple solutions without effectiveness. In order to reduce this matter the social researches may assistresearchers from other fieldsof science in their studies and a convergence between different fields of studies is needed. The main aim of present research is providing solutions to convergence the field of humanities,naturaland engineering. In order to achieve the research objective the documentary method was employed.
