Abstract

The central merit of the Theory of the Complexity as a Method is the "relational thought". This is one of the distinctive characteristics in the work of Morin. The method consists of the learning of that relational thought. But the same method is not simply thought, but a general attitude towards the world, the nature, the life, in short, also towards the own knowledge; towards the type of political relations that we establish with the same knowledge.

Key words: complexity, method, paradigm, legitimacy, higher education.
