Description
Summary:This article presents a review of the distinct conceptions of epistemology, departing from the concept of epistemology as a word. It approaches the structure of epistemology, taken as both, a research field and the discipline of knowledge, and considers its developments into plural epistemologies. Furthermore, the author argues that the epistemology of complexity circumscribes, and is itself circumscribed, by such epistemologies. In short, the article aims to establish a mobile and flexible itinerary regarding epistemology, up to its relationship with the complexity, as posed by the works of Gaston Bachelard and Edgar Morin.
