Características básicas de la economía latinoamericana (siglo XIX). Algunos problemas de la transición nacional

Introducción Esta ponencia no es le resultado de una  investigación de primera mano. Adaptándose a los objetivos elegidos par este Simposio, persigue revisar críticamente cierto número de interpretaciones y teorías. Sin embrago, el deseo de evitar una excesiva superficialidad, teniendo en cuenta el espacio de que disponemos y de temas en el interior del inmenso universo de análisis que representa América Latina en los siglos XIX y XX. Ello nos permitirá abstenernos de hablar de cuestiones que escapan a nuestra experiencia personal de investigador.

Consideraciones básicas del pensamiento complejo de Edgar Morin, en la educación

This essay consists of a brief description and analysis of Edgar Morin´s complex thinking. For that reason, it focuses on the systematic approach that refers to the interconnection and interactions of objects, people, and environment as a whole, which serve as the basis of the educational proposal, where knowledge must be regarded as an integrated fashion and not as something fragmented. Thus, human knowledge should raise awareness that we are just a component of a more general system (complex and in constant interaction), where education can be an effective source for students to develop the capacity of understanding other complex systems, besides living organisms, where also there is a big influence from “new sciences” and humanities. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop those ideas proposed by Edgar Morin.
