Abstract

The second article, “Bases for the organization of the universitycommon good”, written by Juan Pablo Salgado and José Enrique Juncosa, presents the organizational features of the university-common good by combining Ostrom’s view with the vision of the ecosystem organization inspired in Morin’s theory of complexity. It describes the organizational guidelines of Universidad Politénica Salesiana according to a system that proceeds from the bottom up, according to which the norm (the order) expresses a posteriori life and decisions discussed in a continuous and unfinished cycle chaos-order. Both authors agree with the communicative theory of Habermas based on the relationship between the lifeworld and the system, questioning the formality of the consensus based on an ideal and abstract subject. Finally, the article contrastively describes the general theory of Luhmann’s systems, which inspires the organizational language and that of public policies based on the articulation of systems and subsystems, proposing the opposite organizational model, from top to bottom, that denies the dynamics of life and based on communication as a limitation.
