Knowledge as a Complex Phenomenon

Abstract

The paper presents the construction of the discursive space, which is a representation of knowledge. It is a multidimensional dynamic space crossed by discourses running along their specific trajectories. These discourses remain in the relationship of supervenience with reality, which is interpreted as a world of facts (state of affairs). Discourses inherit the complexity of the world, and because they are the articulation/retention of knowledge, this knowledge also inherits this property. Discursive space is, therefore, a model of knowledge of a complex nature.
