Organized by the Cuban Society
of Psychology and the University of Havana’s Department for
the Study of Complexity, the 6th edition of this forum will
favor debates on current challenges in this field of
research.
Gloria Fariñas, member of the event’s Scientific Committee,
told ACN that the objective of this theory called Complexity
is to contribute criteria that are key to achieve an
interrelated vision of the world and of its social,
economic, political and natural processes.
“Complexity in Natural and Social Sciences: Morphogenesis,
Ontogenesis and Intentionality” is the main theme of this
meeting, the results of which, by way of exchanges, should
have an impact on education, and on labor and community
psychology among other spheres, she added.
There will be panels, debates and special lectures during
the Congress, which will run until Friday, and posters, as
the main participatory modality, will be presented.
This type of forum –held since 2002- usually brings together
prominent international experts.
Participating in previous editions of the event have been
physicist Fritjof Capra,
mathematician John Casti, and ecologist, mathematician and
philosopher Richard Levins (all of them from the United
States), in addition to French philosopher and sociologist
Edgar Morin, Canadian biologist and mathematician Brian
Goodwin, and Mexican sociologist and critic Pablo Gonzalez
Casanova.
