Philosophy and the Mechanisms of Deconstructing the Contemporary Western Epistemic Mind

The concept of the pathological mind in knowledge emerges through the critique of the dominant simplifying thesis in science, now replaced by the paradigm of complexity. Once considered a temporary limitation linked to a lack of data or insufficient methodological tools, complexity is today recognized as an essential characteristic of natural phenomena, confirmed by major advances in physics, astronomy, and biology. This recognition has led to the emergence of ―complex thought,‖ an integrative approach aimed at understanding the diversity, contradictions, and evolution of human and natural realities. For example, atomic physics illustrates this complexity through the probabilistic behavior of electrons, challenging simplistic models of fixed trajectories. In this sense, traditional scientific thinking, described as ―blind intelligence,‖ reveals its limits when faced with this structural richness, highlighting the need to adopt more nuanced and systemic epistemological approaches to better comprehend reality.
