The objective of this work is discussing some essential aspects of the epistemology of communication, being privileged the topics argued by researchers of the Work Group Epistemology of Communication of Compós since 2001 when it was created. What are the limits of the field of communication? What is the object of communication? What is the importance of the medias for the effective communication? Can it be considered that the technological revolution guides communication? These are some of the knotty interrogations that face those who dedicate themselves to investigate theoretically the referring questions to the sciences of communication. From the identification of these epistemological dilemmas pointed by researchers of the communication area, is tried to make such questions to dialogue with the ideas presented by the paradigm of complexity, proposed by Edgar Morin, in the six volumes of The Method written and published between 1977 and 2004. These are works that reflect the concern with the production of the scientific knowledge, being conceived for the author himself as a synthesis of his epistemological thought. The paradigm of complexity of Morin, which opposes the modern epistemology, has been an useful instrument in the revision of theoretical and methodological presuppositions in many areas of knowledge since the last two decades of the 20th century. It is assumed here that the same may happen in relation to the reflection on the communication phenomena. After analyzing what Morinean reply to the epistemological questions of communication could be, it is tried to think about the relevance of the technological thought in the communication way of think marked by a complex epistemology of communication.
