In August 2018, the All Knowledge International Congress was held at the Catholic University of Manizales. This event aimed to introduce attendants to new research horizons in which the meaning of complex thinking and its contribution to education were involved. In the same way, this Congress was the scenario for the launching of the book Research from the complex thinking in Latin-America, which is an agreement that consolidates a series of articles on the know-how and why to perform research from this dimension. 

This text intends to comment on this book by combining the different positions authors have intended to provide to their readers, with the purpose of enriching the complex character of research endeavors. In addition to this, this book runs through research performed from the Buddhism and its cognitive processes, and arrives to the capacities given by the complex thinking in order to understand the social reality and its problem areas. These inquiries allow the understanding on philosophical, educational, religious, leisure, family reasoning, where the complexity is reflected and allows seeing more than what is shown in reality. 

Through a clear and proper language, besides de investigative richness presented in the book, the message on complex thinking is easy to understand and comprehend by all kinds of readers.

Abstract

In August 2018, the All Knowledge International Congress was held at the Catholic University of Manizales. This event aimed to introduce attendants to new research horizons in which the meaning of complex thinking and its contribution to education were involved. In the same way, this Congress was the scenario for the launching of the book Research from the complex thinking in Latin-America, which is an agreement that consolidates a series of articles on the know-how and why to perform research from this dimension. 

This text intends to comment on this book by combining the different positions authors have intended to provide to their readers, with the purpose of enriching the complex character of research endeavors. In addition to this, this book runs through research performed from the Buddhism and its cognitive processes, and arrives to the capacities given by the complex thinking in order to understand the social reality and its problem areas. These inquiries allow the understanding on philosophical, educational, religious, leisure, family reasoning, where the complexity is reflected and allows seeing more than what is shown in reality. 

Through a clear and proper language, besides de investigative richness presented in the book, the message on complex thinking is easy to understand and comprehend by all kinds of readers.
