Departing from the identification of strong paradigmatic tendencies toward complexity, described here as a dynamic of all dimensions of reality functioning in an inseparable way, the author emphasizes the theory of Biology of Cognition by Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela as a set of fundamental assumptions in this new construction. This importance is mainly due to the revolutionary assumptions that show the functioning of the life such as the principle of self-organization, the recursivity and networks. These scientists have followed a way already paved in the second cybernetics by Heinz von Foerster and, with that, they did a quantic jump in the sense of a being/ knowing inseparability. The Theory of Biology of Cognition reading in this text is made at the light of the epistemological assumptions of Henri Bergson in relation to the creative evolution and an inventive cognition.
Key words: Biology of Cognition, autopoiesis, creative evolution, second cybernetics.Downloads
