Abstract
El presente trabajo ofrece el planteamiento de una línea de investigación acerca de la relación entre la filosofía y el estudio de los sistemas complejos. En primer lugar, presenta un estudio sobre los principales conceptos que se emplean a la hora de estudiar este tipo de sistemas (auto-organización, emergencia, retroalimentación, etc.). A continuación, da cuenta de que la ambigüedad de estos conceptos provoca dificultades en el estudio de los sistemas complejos. A partir de estas observaciones, se propone que la filosofía, haciendo uso de herramientas tales como la lógica, la ontología (principalmente mereología) y las simulaciones computacionales puede tratar de definir de manera rigurosa estos conceptos, con el objeto de ofrecer un marco unificado para el estudio de los sistemas complejos.
This paper provides an approach to the research on the relationships between philosophy and the study of complex systems. In first place, it presents an investigation concerning the main concepts used in the study of that kind of systems (auto-organization, emergence, feedback, and so on). Then, it reports that the ambiguity of these concepts causes difficulties in the research on complex systems. By standing in these observations, it is proposed that philosophy, making use of tools like logic, ontology (mainly mereology) and computer simulations, could try to define in a rigorous manner these concepts, looking for a unified framework for the study of complex systems.
