Sumario:This essay addresses the material and conceptual field of Tourism, having as its thesis the object of science. Its objective is to analyze the fragility of theories of empirical induction, and the positivist attitude, where an explicit subordination of the imaginary occurs through the observation of fact. A method of the new synthesis is transdisciplinarity, an analytical attitude of rooted theorization, based on comprehensive sociology and Edgar Morin’s Complexity Theory, which leads to a derived epistemology in which the relation of subject/object is reconstructed in an organic and complex way, establishing the field of psychogenesis and sociogenesis of tourist knowledge, and recovering the human values in the scientific discourse of Tourism through the Theory of Complexity. The result of this new epistemological perspective is the proposition of an ecosystemic model of Tourism.
