Inclusion as a way of living: well living

ABSTRACT

This article aims to discuss inclusion from the perspective of Edgar Morin’s complexity, aiming at an argumentative-conceptual construction that gives this construct the connotation of a way of living. This is a theoretical-documentary study that articulates constitutive elements of the triad inclusion-complexity-language, whose meanings are closely related to the cognitive principles of complex thinking, since they show formation and movements, simultaneously hologramatic, recursive, and dialogical, towards a tetralogic of order, disorder, interactions, and organizations, common to living systems. The triad is discussed in the light of ideas about complexity in the field of Education and its interface with the area of language, more specifically, with Applied Linguistics. The discussion is woven together, through interdependent binomials that emerged from the convergence of the elements of the triad with the theoretical centrality of human complexity. The binomials that permeate the discussion are: (1) singularity - mundialization, (2) human condition - action, and (3) language(s) - inclusion/exclusion. To conclude the article, we present our considerations about inclusion, understood as a way of living, well-living - well-thinking.

Key words:
Inclusion/Exclusion; Complexity; Language
