Complexidade e conhecimento científico

Abstract

COMPLEXITY AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGEMENT. This paper aims to discuss the concept of Complexity and how it interferes with problems presented by the Theory of Knowledge, particularly during the building of scientific knowledge. We discuss the concepts that seem more indicated in the attempt of effectuating a definition of Complexity, considering that literature on the subject put emphasis on the forms of complexity, but there is still no specific definition of the concept.
