Teoria da delimitação de sistemas sociais em duas unidades da Uni-Yôga

This  article  condenses the main  points  raised  in  a dissertation  whose general  aim  was to understand how   to express the values  associated  with  instrumental rationality and substantive  rationality  in  the culture  of  two centers  of  the network Uni-Yoga, located  in  the cities  of  Ponta Grossa (PR) and Sao Jose (SC). To  do this,  a multiple exploratory  case study was developed  based on  qualitative  and quantitative  data (application of  a questionnaire,  direct  observation  and interviews  in depth, semi-structured)  based on the theory of  the delimitation  of  social  systems (GUERREIRO  RAMOS,  1981).  There was a search  for documents  and  literature about the concepts related  to Western and Eastern values that permeate the culture of the network Uni-Yoga - a Brazilian non-profit organization, managed in  a participatory  manner. It has achieved  great success bringing  together more than  two hundred centers  in  Brazil and  abroad.  It  was  concluded  that the three main categories  of  the theory of  the  division of  systems - economy, phenonomy and isonomy  - are fundamental  to understanding  the culture  of  the two centers of  the network, and that the realities  to  which such  categories  refer    are  linked in  a complex  way.
