Summary: | The social anthropologist Carlos Reynoso has raised a series of objections to the socalled complex thinking, whose main representative is the French thinker Edgar Morin. Reynoso takes as point of reference to critique complex thinking the conceptual rigor of complexity sciences. His objections against complex thinking are based on his discursive nature and his lack of a scientific method. This article analyzes and criticizes the implicit concept of scientificity in Reynoso’s thinking and proposes the need to articulate philosophical thinking and empirical methodology to understand complexity and its sciences. |
