Talking with Edgar Morin is a rare experience of free conversation, like over lunch, with no other purpose than to share a moment of lively thought. This book takes the form of an alphabetical dictionary, from Âme (Soul) to Zizanie (Discord). Each word becomes a pretext for reflection, a path to the thinker's work and life.
With his fluid and engaging voice, Edgar Morin leads us towards an unadulterated knowledge, capable of grasping the complexity of reality. Far from compartmentalized knowledge, science, poetry, politics, friendship, sensuality, and resistance are all intertwined and nourish thought. A unique testimony from one of the greatest contemporary thinkers.
Patrick Frémeaux
Edgar Morin (born in 1921) is a major philosopher and sociologist, author of the monumental work La Méthode (Seuil), which profoundly renewed our understanding of complexity. A member of the Resistance during the Occupation and an undisciplined thinker, he has always kept his distance from established academic frameworks and rigid ideologies. His work encompasses popular culture as well as globalization, education, and contemporary ethical and political challenges. His career and ideas are presented in L'Entretien (Le Monde - Frémeaux & Associés), a veritable introduction to his work through his life. Through his struggles and reflections, Edgar Morin emerges as one of the great minds of the 20th and 21st centuries.
