Social Science Complexity: A challenge for the social sciences

Dr. Carlos Eduardo Maldonado (carlos.maldonado44@urosario.edu.co) Universidad del Rosario (Bogotá, Colombia)

Abstract

My argument is that the concept of social system itself is no longer a unique heritage of the human and social sciences. In other words, this is about the complexity or complexitation of the foundation of social sciences and its disciplines, that is: the idea of social systems itself. Therefore, I study its causes and its consequences.

Keywords: complexity, social sciences, social theory, systems.
