Teorías de la complejidad y ciencias sociales. Nuevas estrategias epistemológicas y metodológicas
Keywords:

Abstract
Complexity and complex systems have emerged, around the middle of twentieth century, as a central research object for contemporary science, but also for philosophical, ethical and political reflection. The aim of this work is to make a critical link between two alternative ways, which also can be conceived as antagonistic, of understanding and studying complexity: complex thought proposed by Edgar Morin and the so-called complexity science. The article explores the epistemological and methodological implications and challenges of complexity theories for social sciences research.Downloads
