Supremacia do interesse público: uma leitura no pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a brief analysis of the supremacy of the public interest to verify the existence or not of a correct application of this institute as a pattern to be followed and to demonstrate the offensive potential of its inadequate application by the government or by the jurisdiction within the Brazilian Democratic Rule of Law. For that purpose, we use the arguments of Edgar Morin’s “complex thought” theory developed in his work “Science with a conscience”, which suggests a use of the concept of public interest not as an absolute infallible concept, but as an important point for the production of normative meaning within a complex constitutional historical network. Keywords: public interest, complexity, Edgar Morin, public administration, jurisdiction.
