Here we express the view of an archaeological anthropologist who examines a series of changes in our way of seeing Science and the Universe in general, and, the implications of these in terms of consequences: the problem of spatial-temporal existence and observable effects of phenomena which have no such existence (such as information-organization); historicity, evolution and irreversibility, and the modern tendency of many to seek refuge from the uncertainties through philosophical alienation. Fiannly, it discusses new perspectives for Science through the use of hyper-complexity, instead of its rejection, and with the integration of these concepts with older ones in an emerging new vision of Science.Downloads
