Abstract

This text is an essay that provides a discussion of ideas about different points of view with which we can look at the arrangements that interpose life. In presenting the ideas of Fritjof Capra in The Web of Life and Edgar Morin, in Terre-Patrie, we propose a dialogue between the authors, from a relational perspective of the concept we try to reset: Exchange. Our intent is to demonstrate the primacy given to overspecialization, which masks systemic and complex issues regarding the understanding of reality and, thus, establishing a dependence of different fields of human cognition, such as science, politics, philosophy, art, among others, to a financial / monetarist complacency, which does not regards the importance of trade relations among the parties. As a result of the exchanges of ideas, we propose a new meaning to the concept of Exchange upon the presentation of a musical composition. Thus, we demonstrate the possibility to establish a concept and create a piece of work guided by a mixture of artistic and philosophical-scientific features.
