Resumen
This work is an attempt to clarify the concept of level in order to make it viable to use it coherently within different conceptual frames and, especially, to allow discussion and commensurability among diverse and even alternative views related, in particular, to biological systems. Instead of proposing a definition I assume an intuitive notion in the sense that levels are those diverse states of association of elements that constitute a system by virtue of a given relation. Which that relation will be is precisely what demands a detailed epistemological reconstruction. The features considered are composition, integration, emergence, control and organization.
