Abstract
The impact of the relationship between the theory of systems and the theory of complexity on some of the general philosophical questions is discussed. The special accent in this analysis is on the problem of the possible limits in complexity, and how this statement could change many of the aspects of the philosophy of science and the philosophy of art.
