Abstract

It is aimed, in this study, to develop reflections based on the Complexity Theory, especially on the Edgar Morin's thought with respect to the human nature and about the relevancy of this thematic in the pedagogical process. The contributions of the Complexity Theory concerning the origin and destination of the man, the species and the humanity have constituted, in the last years, in a very rich referencial for an Education Philosophy and to a reform of the school education. This referencial can contribute for an appropriate understanding about the nature and the dignity of the human being. In the core of the complex thought, supported on sciences such as Anthropology, Physics, Biology and Ecology, Morin elaborates an original concept of man with differentiated characteristics from the mythical, Greek or Jewish-Christian conceptions. From the studies of the complexity, the man is understood with an "auto-eco-exo-organizer” capacity and as a more advanced and privileged product of an alive system in the long process of becoming man, whose ending does not have neither place nor stated period to happen. It is a task for the Pedagogy and for school education promote the study and the debate about the nature of the human being, because from this presupposition comes the possibility of the emergency and of the human condition dignity development, as well as the planet and humanity future.
