The Epistemology of Complexity by Edgar Moran

Abstract

Controversy of complexity, simplicity, order and chaos is one of the most important issues that can be discussed in contemporary philosophy. Many questions can be asked about these controversies. Can philosophy keep pace with scientific progress, especially the existence of fragmentation? Therefore, the analysis of phenomena into simple units to understand is beyond the reality that is characterized by chaos and ambiguity. The task of this study was to explain the world, the universe and man without reduction that can go to philosophy with Descartes in the theory of knowledge, as Moran rejects scientific disciplines to fragment the human and look at him fragmentally. Instead, it looks at him in a holistic manner without the barriers between different sciences.
