This doctoral thesis has as its research object universal fraternity in the thought of Pope Francis; here, fraternity and friendship celebrate two inseparable dimensions of the same theological reality, thought of at times globally, at times locally. The bibliographical approach of the object celebrates it from the point of view of theological science, under the notion of theological place and hermeneutic principle, for the restoration of christian humanism; and also, places it in dialogue with the complex thought of Edgar Morin, in view of its conceptual expansion, which in turn, thematizes fraternity and humanism in its reflection. The proactive and realistic emphasis in both thinkers, that is, the path of historical and social fulfillment that places the human being in relation to his fellow human beings, as well as in solidarity with the natural and cultural environment of his earthly existence, affirms the need for a polysemic and interdisciplinary dialogue that favors the understanding and exercise of fraternity as a complex, transdisciplinary epistemological principle, capable of promoting the regeneration of humanism, through a new education of the human being towards an integrative and dialogical paradigm; both of the current ecclesial subject, already in metamorphosis of the modern itinerary of Vatican II, and of those who can inspire hope, beyond the Church, in the World, the Common Home. Pope Francis' thought affirms a true integrative ecological understanding of the breadth of human relationships and their fraternal fruitfulness: in the Church, through synodality; among all human beings, through the love it promotes for people; in the Common Home, through respect for the natural and cultural environment. It is the polyhedral whole that implies a new singularity from its parts. For Edgar Morin, the new alliance between the natural and cultural dimensions of the human being, through the reconnection of knowledge, celebrates the steps towards planetary citizenship and the regeneration of humanism. Although there are clear epistemological distinctions between Francisco and Morin, as well as in their stance on faith and religion, regarding the practice of social, political and cosmic love, which is at the roots of fraternity, both point in the same direction when they recognize that it is only possible to believe in hope through persistent fraternal effort, through which one resists cruelty and violence. The conclusion of this research points to the need to insist, in academia and in life, in the Church and in society, so that the principles enunciated in the thought of both the Pope and Edgar Morin remain alive, beyond their individual existences, but integrated with the knowledge of others, and that they encourage the re-education of a new generation of researchers concerned not only with the theory of being, but with the practical knowledge that allows human beings to be new and transformative, in fraternal communion with all creation
