This paper is a short essay that claims that a systemic problem cannot be rightly understood and even less solved on the same level, in the same framework or with the same tools that entail the very same problem. This is a radical variation of Einsteinâs idea set out in the context of the Copenhaguen debate according to which a problem cannot be solved if we do not change the conditions in which the problem arose originally. More exactly, a systemic problem cannot be tackled and solved with tools, approaches and rods of the very same kind, level, nature of framework that define the problem. To truly tackle and solve any problem, the approach, tools, concepts, models, and the like need have a higher or heavier calibre so to speak than the problem. Otherwise, we do not solve a problem at all. At its best, we displace it. This essay argues that to solve any systemic problem a complexity endeavour is needed. Reasons for the insufficiency of systems science and about the rationale of complexity theory are provided.

The following work problematize the constructionist assumptions that underlie the theorization and sociological research of public problems. As such, we review the onto-epistemic components of constructionism and their relationship with the main authors in this research field, with the objective of problematizing them based on pragmatist proposals in the same field. Our proposal is that research on public problems is strengthened by combining both approaches. To prove the point, our argument runs as follows. After the introduction in which we situate the problem, we present the constructionist foundations from the work of Gusfield. Later, we discuss French pragmatist proposals, following D. Cefaï. We finish with a discussion about the relationship with the empirical, analytical, and political scope in the study of public problems.

The study of the material practices of a society requires considering the types of epistemological framing in which they are developed and their effects on them. The modes of categorizing and distinctions, and the modes of organizing and clustering are part of the framing of the practices that this text addresses. It conceptually explores the modes of organizing sets based on the aggregative distinction between the singular and the plural, and the modes of organization focused on the compositional effect of the difference between molecule and mass. The conceptual exercise proposes that both modes of organization be used together, enabling the description of aggregation and composition phenomena integrated synchronically and diachronically in the material organization of the social.
