TESCAROLO, Ricardo  and  GASQUE, Kelley Cristine Gonçalves Dias. Complexidade, currículo e ética: o parto de um novo mundo. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2007, vol.07, n.22, pp.39-52. ISSN 1981-416X.

This article analyses the crisis of the contemporary western mind and the emergence of a new cosmology based upon the complexity. It represents the overcoming of a vision that intended to discover the principles of simplicity, stability, and objectivity in an essentially complex and ambiguous reality. This overcoming of a reduced-to-pieces reality occupies the heart of this new vision, conciliating reflexive thinking with sensibility, and reason with experience. From the idea of complexity results an ethics that constitutes the foundation of the recognition that the inner dimension of every man and woman transforms him/her in a event of cosmic importance. And from this very idea also results the urgency of which every instance of human society- but especially the school, because of its very raison d´être - shoulders the social and planetary responsibility, establishing a new contract in behalf of the Earth, the Life, and the Humanity.

Keywords : Complexity; Curriculum; Ethics.
