Abstract

If the observer and the observatet belong to the same described object, the convergence between the subject can’t ignore the principle of refleivity that gives a better understanding if the generated scientific corpus. The superiority of the reflexivity principle is based in the self-referential nature of the social systems; in the capacity that the systems develop in order to lose conscience of themselves, and delimit themselves from the surrounding and environment. Through that delimitation the systems gain access to self-observation; without this the system are incapable to generate all the componentes required for their operations, are incapable of performing their autopoietic processes.
