In this text, the author presents some disagreements about Morin’s complex thinking, although he largely agrees with Morin’s epistemological reconstruction. Thought is complex as a cerebral phenomenon, composed of dynamics that we have not even minimally unraveled, that is, in its ontology, but, epistemologically, thought, mainly for evolutionary reasons, is a phenomenon of selective abstraction that naturally
reduces reality to recurrences, preferably invariant. It is therefore always a strategic simplifi cation – we only explain what we simplify. We would not explain the complex using complex speech, which, of course, would
be unintelligible. This reduction is unhealthy in positivism, because it postulates that discursive formalisms are realistic (reality is mathematical, we don’t just reconstruct it using mathematical reductions), but it is common in any analyst who seeks to respect the complexity of reality. Interdisciplinarity is very important for a more
comprehensive view of a reality that, in the end, escapes our formalisms, but is only practicable in a group of
specialists. The individual analyst is disciplinary, not only because of (de)training, but also in order to be able to go deeper – the deepening is naturally disciplinary. Hence the importance of teamwork that mixes disciplines.
