CONTRIBUTION OF THE THOUGHT OF MATURANA FOR THE EDUCATION

Abstract

This text proposition reflects on Maturana's contributions in the fields of education, taking it as a theoretical reference to the systemic approach. This approach we are driven to a more holistic education, concerned about subject in its totality; individual and context thoughts like a set of relations, discarding any track of fragmentation and simplistic explanation. Humberto Maturana is seen as an author who starting from biology, provokes a break with the modern thought, enters into the world of culture and announces the  systemic thought, like epistemological basis in the study of human being proposing an eco-systemic conception  of reality. This way, Maturana’s idea about education makes us understand that educate is to coexist in a space of reciprocal acceptance, where there is self-respect and to the other, visualizing a new way to be done.
