CHAPTER 1: complexity, law and science: reflections on the revision of the unesco recommendation on the status and responsibility of scientific researchers

Abstract

A way of analyzing and rationally organizing elements likely to be associated by their characters, a system is a representation of facts, objects or notions whose proximity can result as much from evidence as of an intellectual construction. And, when this construction arises from chaos, disorder, contradiction or the initial belonging of its elements to distinct universes, the system is developed from complexity and with the prospect of mastering it.
