Abstract

In the second half of the last century the continuous development of hypotheses, theories and models from different disciplines has made several changes in the epistemological structure of cognitive science. This profoundly changed the mechanistic vision of the previous accepted model. The birth of a holistic epistemological paradigm-that considers the human body as a network of integrated communication- increases its relevance in Western scientific world, embracing a vision of close interconnection and interdependence between mind and body. The epistemology of complexity is the fundamental starting point for a proper study of human being and of human knowledge. In addition, it represents a meeting point between Eastern medical tradition and the current scientific conceptions from quantum physics, favoring the integration of care and prevention systems in psychology and medicine. KEYWORDS Epistemology, complexity, holism, extended mind, quantum physics.
