Os desafios propostos pelo pensamento sistêmico e a resistência das instituições: uma análise do contexto universitário

Abstract

Departing from the idea of the Cartesian paradigm exhaustion, the article discusses the importance of the challenges to be faced by the universities before the urgent need for a new model of thinking centered in the systemic (or holistic) vision. This model would lead to a broader academic perception of reality and remain, at the same time, truthful to its social function.
