Abstract:
This article aims to subsidize the reflection on the theme of complex intelligence as a concretization of the Sentient intelligence. It considers reflections by that enable rethinking Zubiri’s categories as a radical paradigm shift in Education in the 21st century [1, 2]. The following problem was investigated: How can the nature of knowledge of Edgar Morin's complex thinking support the reconnection of feeling and understanding? A bibliographical exploratory methodology of a reflexive nature was chosen and the theoretical approach is supported by Edgar Morin's epistemology of complexity and Zubiri's epistemology, seeking to structurally unite/combine? reality and reason by means of immersion into things through complex thinking. Morin proposes an interface between philosophy and science aiming at inter-fertilization. The research led to understanding the relevance of the discussion of the transition from Conscientious Intelligence to Sentient Intelligence, based on Zubiri's work, in conjunction with Edgar Morin's proposal for complex intelligence, which may constitute an important resource to articulate a/the practice of complex thinking in Education, conceiving the uniduality of understanding and feeling, bringing about a real paradigm shift that will enable a new perspective to education.
