The ethics of complexity

Based on the assumption that the contemporary world is characterized by the drama manifested by the lack of solidarity oppression hatred violence public safety problems juvenile delinquency and marginality domestic violence and bullying in schools competitiveness liquid relationships escape from responsibility and commitment intolerance towards the other and the negation of the other this paper discusses the contribution of Morin's complexity theory of education for the development of ethics.For that purpose a bibliographic research based on document analysis was carried out as a data collection technique. As the ethics of complexity is a foundation of education we conclude that it is necessary to educate ourselves to understand not only the other but ourselves as well as the world to understand that we are one in relation to ourselves the others and the planet despite the fragments of specific knowledge that divide us.
