Abstract
Zubiri conceives the living being as a dynamic structure (1968). Prigogine, for his part, conceives it from the perspective of dissipative structures that appear in self-organizing processes in unstable open systems. Both conceptions are practically contemporary, and both unite two aspects of living that are somewhat contradictory: the dynamical and the structural. On the basis of Zubiri’s considerations about the dynamism of selfhood in the Dynamic Structure of Reality, and Prigogine’s theory of dissipative structures and self-organization processes, we analyze some central points of both concepts of living to understand their common elements and key differences.
