The author approaches interdisciplinarity as an interpretation of Edgar Morin’s thought to propose an interdisciplinar organization of knowledge in a curriculum that transcends the organization of subjects which are far disconnected of the complexity of the world. Four ideas are developed in this paper: First, how the mind breaks complexity of the world into detached fragments that stunt the possibility to comprehend and reflect over phenomena. Second, the possibility to reform a different way of thought to integrate-order-disorder knowledge. Third, a change of simple for complex thought to organize, translate and rebuild knowledge through divide-join, analysis-synthesis. Finally, the fourth idea, linking renewed complex thought with renewed teaching through an articulating-knowledge curriculum able to generate interdisciplinary understanding where error is assumed as a means to change knowledge construction.
