«Introdução ao pensamento complexo» is the philosophical essay by Edgar Morin, published by Instituto Piaget in paperback (in Portuguese).
The book sets out the foundations of complex thought against fragmented and simplifying knowledge. Morin argues that reality is woven from interconnections and uncertainty, and proposes a transdisciplinary vision that contextualizes and globalizes information. Complexity is presented as a challenge for intelligence, not as a closed answer.
Aimed at students and professionals in philosophy, sociology and the humanities interested in the new paradigms of knowledge.
Edgar Morin was a French philosopher and sociologist of the theory of information who has been recognised for his work on complexity and "complex thought", and for his scholarly contributions to such diverse fields as media studies, politics, sociology, visual anthropology, ecology, education, and systems biology. He held two bachelors degrees, one in history and geography and one in law, and never did a Ph.D.
