Abstract

This article intends to elucidate some assumptions inherent to the argument of the First Chapter from the Second Section of the Hegel's Science of Logic, Doctrine of the Concept, regarding the mechanism and the reductionist view of the contemporary sciences, using as a background some concepts inherent to complex systems. For this purpose, the philosophical position of other authors and their perception of the world and the relationship between causality, finalism and mechanicism will be reviewed.
Keywords: Mechanicism. Complexity. Reductionism. Science of Logic. Causality. Finalism.
