Abstract

The progressive complexity of the problems and challenges confronting  contemporary societies, demands the need for complex solutions that incorporate analytical frameworks enabling an integral design of what is observed and therefore of what is finally  built. In this work the effort goes precisely in that direction, building a theoretical-conceptual revision of elements such as transdiscipline (TD), autopoiesis and Maturana’s Biology of Cognition, to establish the intersections that link them, and empower this perspective as a possible pathway to configure a new action based epistemology.
