Abstract

The article begins by contextualizing historically and epistemologically the emergence of the movement of self-organization (MAO), advancing to its characterization as a movement differentiated from other contemporary epistemological currents; accordingly, are enunciated and briefly explained the seven features within the MAO to theories that integrate it. Then briefly I expose the two theories of MAO that were probably more influential in the contemporary scientific world: the theory of autopoiesis and the theory of mimetic desire. Throughout this description, links will be made between them, and between them and other authors/ theories of MAO, particularly with their precursors, as Bateson and Morin. Finally, the article is concluded with the author's personal contribution to the understanding of learning and education, based on the various theories of epistemology and MAO. It also summarizes the thoughts of other MAO 's authors about learning and education.
