Abstract

René Thom ha propuesto el concepto topológico de continuo como respuesta al concepto lógico de infinito. En este trabajo se mostrará que, frente a la definición combinatoria de conjunto infinito propuesta por Cantor, la definición porfiriana de continuo propuesta por Thom salva las paradojas de la teoría de conjuntos y comporta consecuencias ontológicas decisivas en el ámbito del mundo morfológico poniendo límites, por ejemplo, a la evolución ilimitadamente innovadora de Prigogine, etc.René Thom has proposed the topologic concept continuum as a response to the logics concept infinity. In this paper we show that, as opposed to the combinatorial definition of infinite set proposed by Cantor, the porfirian definition of continuum proposed by Thom goes beyond the paradoxes of set theory and has decisive ontologic consequences for morphologic world, putting limits, for instance, to Prigogine’s unlimited innovative evolution, etc.
