La razón poética y el pensamiento complejo

between reason and thought, poetry and knowledge, dualism or the exclusion of terms is not possible. they complement each other without losing their distinctions. one must learn to think from the viewpoint of diversity and interculturalty in order to overcome the cartesian reasoning of unity and synthesis, because the world’s realities are alternative, random and diffuse. reason is transformed through complex thinking, which considers the parts of the whole always in an open correlation to the totality. on the other hand, poetic reasoning perceives and understands the world by the sensitive intuition of those who humanize it through their symbolic creations. both rationalities open and give access to the world in coordinates of encounters and misunderstandings, which make it possible to think and feel the world as a permanent discovery of the cultural and historic creation of peoples in their otherness and liberty. in latin america, the philosophical discussion that stimulates complex thought necessarily requires culturally diverse poetic experiences that form part of the meanings of historical reality.
