Complex epistemology

The term Épistémologie complexes is employed by Edgar Morin in its work, particularly in volume 3 of the Method entitled Knowledge of knowledge .

Definition

The epistemology complexes which Edgar Morin proposes aims at exceeding traditional epistemology. According to its own terms, she wants to be open on a certain number of key cognitive problems already raised by epistemological the bachelardienne (complexity) and piagétienne (the biology of knowledge, the articulation between logic and psychology, the epistemic subject) and proposes to examine not only the instruments of knowledge in themselves, but also the conditions of production (neuro-cerebral, sociocultural) of the instruments of knowledge .

Contrary to traditional epistemology, complex epistemology does not have a base, in the literal sense, this metaphor borrowed from construction being misleading. Edgar Morin prefers the metaphor, which it borrows from Rescher, of a system in network of which the structure is not hierarchical, no level not being more fundamental than others , to which it adds the dynamic idea of rotary recursivity .
