Abstract
On May 6, 2021, Humberto Maturana
passed away, a revolutionary scientist-
philosopher, who made important
contributions to science and the humanities
and dared to pronounce words
such as feeling, emotion and love in his
speech. Possibly these words, so unusual
in the scientific and academic sphere,
have been one of the reasons why Maturana’s
thought of him has not had the
impact it deserves, at least in Spain, where
he is not a well-known author. The article
intends to pay homage to his figure
of him. To do this, we will review what
his main contributions have been, focusing
on his conception of education and
democracy.
