The previous statements make it indispensable to address the
whose meaning is "embrace"; and cum as a preposition of the ablative "with
and plexus-us", both conjunctions give the idea of a fabric or interlacing. That
is, its prefix trans, in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academic (DRAE,
2017, p.1), defines the idea of movement, metamorphosis and fusion, which
transfigure, transmute, as well as transfer objective to subjective reality and
vice versa.
Therefore, transcomplexity is an integration of complex thinking with the
transdisciplinarity of sciences. As antecedent of the proposals of Morín (1990,
p.101), he emphasizes a double logic to understand two antagonistic notions,
such as order and disorder, which give rise to the organization as a way of
thinking, in which try to take on the challenge of uncertainty and contradiction
to address a paradigm shift.
From a relativist view, transcomplexity, according to Gómez and
Jiménez (2002, p.44), assumes the principles of knowledge from a
complementary

the
organization,
religion,
contextualization and globalization to confront classical thought. Likewise,
Moreno (2002, p.118), explains that it not only serves to understand the
complexity of human nature; but especially, it differs from other perspectives
because it focuses on social complexity, with a greater degree of uncertainty
present in the educational reality from an interaction between several
disciplines.
The concept of transdisciplinarity was born in the 70s; and it is Morín,
who in the 80s, exposes the transdisciplinary term, starting from concept and
analysis that come from different disciplines, which are integrated to capture
inadvertent characteristics from other perspectives. Likewise, Sotolongo
(2007): points out that it goes beyond a multidisciplinary vision, since it focuses
on "respect for the plurality of knowledge" (pp.6-20). Therefore, recognize the
