Ni science ni philosophie, enjambant la science et la philosophie, les sciences humaines et les sciences naturelles, sa pensée échappe aux cloisonnements disciplinaires et aux modes de connaissance compartimentée. Véritable touche-à-tout du savoir, autodidacte par complexion, Edgar Morin est l'auteur d'une oeuvre considérable, qui couvre le vaste champ du savoir et qui propose une méthode pour traiter la complexité du réel. Cet ouvrage retrace les grands moments de l'histoire personnelle et intellectuelle qui ont fait d'Edgar Morin un des grands penseurs de notre temps, et l'auteur d'une oeuvre majeure à la convergence des savoirs, oeuvre colossale et désormais incontournable pour penser notre temps et les problèmes de notre temps.

Book excerpt: Nous demandons à la pensée qu'elle dissipe les brouillards et les obscurités, qu'elle mette de l'ordre et de la clarté dans le réel, qu'elle révèle les lois qui le gouvernent. Le mot de complexité, lui, ne peut qu'exprimer notre embarras, notre confusion, notre incapacité à définir de façon simple, à nommer de façon claire, à ordonner nos idées. Sa définition première ne peut fournir aucune élucidation : est complexe ce qui ne peut se résumer en un maître mot, ce qui ne peut se ramener à une loi ni se réduire à une idée simple. La complexité est un mot problème et non un mot solution. Edgar Morin propose ici une pensée qui relève les défis de la complexité afin de mieux comprendre nos personnes, notre humanité, notre monde.

Book excerpt: A la fois confession et credo, Mes démons est inclassable. Ce livre d'écrivain, d'historien, de penseur s'efforce de reporter sur son auteur lui-même, et sur ses expériences dans le siècle, la pensée complexe dont il a été l'initiateur : " J'essaie de reconnaître à quelles erreurs mes démons m'ont conduit, à quelles vérités je demeure fidèle. " On retrouve ici le regard du sociologue soucieux des événements présents, celui de l'anthropologue attentif au mythe et à l'imaginaire, et enfin l'auteur de La Méthode, pour qui la complexité est devenue le défi que doit affronter l'esprit humain.
Download or read book Imperial Powers and Humanitarian Interventions written by Raphaël Cheriau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Zanzibar Sultanate became the focal point of European imperial and humanitarian policies, most notably Britain, France, and Germany. In fact, the Sultanate was one of the few places in the world where humanitarianism and imperialism met in the most obvious fashion. This crucial encounter was perfectly embodied by the iconic meeting of Dr. Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley in 1871. This book challenges the common presumption that those humanitarian concerns only served to conceal vile colonial interests. It brings the repression of the East African slave trade at sea and the expansion of empires into a new light in comparing French and British archives for the first time.
Download or read book The Challenge of Complexity written by Amy Heath-Carpentier and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Complexity gathers in one volume over 32 essays by the esteemed French philosopher and sociologist, Edgar Morin, probably France's greatest living public intellectual. The essays span six decades of his career, addressing topics such as complexity, sociology, ecology, education, film, biology, and politics. At his centenary (July 2021), Morin holds honorary doctorates from over 20 universities in Europe and Latin America, and recently the Centre d'Etudes Transdisciplinaires, Sociologie, Anthropologie, Histoire, at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the prestigious French National Research Center, was renamed the Centre Edgar-Morin. He is also the UNESCO Chair of Complex Thought. Several university centres and institutes have been dedicated to advancing his work in Europe and Latin America. He is the author of more than 80 books, translated into 28 languages, and the 1960 documentary Chronicle of a Summer, which he co-directed with Jean Rouch, has become a classic and the first example of cinema verite. Morin's work on complexity is distinct from the mathematically driven science of complexity. He argues for an epistemological revolution and focuses on the need to develop complex thought to address the lived complexity of an interconnected, interdependent, uncertain world. Morin's contribution in such a wide range of disciplines has been influential because of his ability to bring complex thought to bear on seemingly diverse topics, reflecting on the limitations of how they are approached and articulating a transdisciplinary way that doesnt sacrifice complexity in an effort to find an oversimplified clarity. Morin illuminates the complexity and creativity of the world and of our lived experience, and invites us to participate in the creative process that is existence itself. A substantive overview of Morin's philosophical journey by Alfonso Montuori introduces the reader to Morin's remarkable work and life. And the work is completed by a substantive Letter from Edgar Morin, putting his life's work in the context of recent advances in Science and the Humanities.
Download or read book Autocritique NE written by Edgar Morin and published by Média Diffusion. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entré simultanément, à vingt ans, en Résistance et en communisme, Edgar Morin a connu le doute à l'égard du second dès la Libération puis, de déchirements en désillusions, au moment des procès et des purges de la " deuxième glaciation " stalinienne, le rejet réciproque en 1951. Son appartenance au Parti avait duré dix ans, au cours desquels il avait vu comment l'Appareil pouvait transformer un brave en lâche, un héros en monstre, un martyr en bourreau. Ce livre, publié pour la première fois en 1959, plusieurs fois réédité et augmenté ici d'une nouvelle préface, est le récit sincère d'une aventure spirituelle. Dans ce détournement de l'exercice tristement célèbre de confession publique que le pouvoir soviétique exigeait de ceux dont il entendait se débarrasser, Edgar Morin ne se contente toutefois pas de dénoncer le dévoiement d'une idéologie. Il restitue le communisme dans sa dimension humaine en montrant comment celui-ci a pu tout à la fois porter et trahir les plus grands idéaux. En élucidant le cheminement personnel qui l'avait conduit à se convertir à la grande religion terrestre du XXe siècle, il se délivre à jamais d'une façon de penser, juger, condamner, qui est celle de tous les dogmatismes et de tous les fanatismes. Ce témoignage, qui est celui d'une génération, est aussi une leçon actuelle dans notre époque menacée par de nouveaux obscurantismes. Philosophe et sociologue, directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et docteur honoris causa de vingt-sept universités étrangères, Edgar Morin est l'auteur d'une œuvre transdisciplinaire abondamment commentée et traduite, dont l'ambitieuse Méthode, en six tomes, publiée au Seuil.

Download or read book Multiplicity and Interdisciplinarity written by Gianfranco Minati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the human, cultural, and scientific contributions of professor Eliano Pessa, who recently passed away. His research interests and activities were varied, some of which included quantum physics, cognitive science and psychology, systems science, artificial intelligence, and alpinism. They were never disciplinary-separated issues, but rather some coherent dimensions of his interests in life. He lived and not only practiced interdisciplinarity and multiple dimensions; he considered it unacceptable to do only one thing in life. The contributors in this volume consider, discuss, interpret, and represent the multiplicity and interdisciplinarity experienced, lived and applied by Pessa. The chapters are inspired by, rebuild, and retrace such networked interests lived by him from the personal, cultural, and scientific points of view of the authors. This is true interdisciplinarity and usage of non-equivalences, honoring the richness of Pessa's contributions.

Download or read book Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems written by Robert B. Northrop and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The boundaries between simple and complicated, and complicated and complex system designations are fuzzy and debatable, even using quantitative measures of complexity. However, if you are a biomedical engineer, a biologist, physiologist, economist, politician, stock market speculator, or politician, you have encountered complex systems. Furthermore, your success depends on your ability to successfully interact with and manage a variety of complex systems. In order not to be blindsided by unexpected results, we need a systematic, comprehensive way of analyzing, modeling, and simulating complex systems to predict non-anticipated outcomes. In its engaging first chapters, the book introduces complex systems, Campbell's Law, and the Law of Unintended Consequences, and mathematics necessary for conversations in complex systems. Subsequent chapters illustrate concepts via commonly studied biological mechanisms. The final chapters focus on higher-level complexity problems, and introduce complexity in economic systems. Designed as a reference for biologists and biological engineers, Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems lends itself to use in a classroom course to introduce advanced students studying biomedical engineering, biophysics, or physiology to complex systems. Engaging and illustrative, this book aids scientists and decision makers in managing biological complexity and complex systems.

Download or read book California Journal written by Edgar Morin and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The reform in thinking is a key anthropological and historical problem. This implies a mental revolution of considerably greater proportions than the Copernican revolution. Never before in the history of humanity have the responsibilities of thinking weighed so crushingly on us. --- History has not reached a stagnant end, nor is it triumphantly marching towards the radiant future. It is being catapulted into an unknown adventure." - Edgar Morin --- In 1969, California is not just the new Eldorado, it is the crucible where civilization is accelerating, self-destructs, and is reborn. It's the probe of Spaceship Earth. It's the hippy phenomenon, the communes, the ecological movement, the great collective ceremonies like park-ins and rock concerts, the flourishing of sects ranging from mystics to Marxists, the experience of "weed" and "acid." These are all temporary images and elements of a search for a new truth, a new religion, a new society. Long before it became fashionable for European intellectuals to write about their voyages to the United States, Edgar Morin, one of France's leading intellectual figures and, at that time, known as a path-breaking and innovative sociologist and researcher of popular culture, recounts the story of his experiences in the cauldron of change that was California, including his encounters with some of the leading minds of that time. Now translated in English, California Journal combines Morin's account of his experiences with his own search for answers to fundamental questions about the human condition. For a few months, the author had a profound feeling of being drawn into the heart of the "great questions," played out personally and societally. The result is an engaging and prophetic work that has as much if not more to offer today than it did when it was first published in French.
Download or read book Peace in International Relations written by Oliver P. Richmond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-03-19 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the way in which peace is conceptualized in IR theory, a topic which has until now been largely overlooked. The volume explores the way peace has been implicitly conceptualized within the different strands of IR theory, and in the policy world as exemplified through practices in the peacebuilding efforts since the end of the Cold War. Issues addressed include the problem of how peace efforts become sustainable rather than merely inscribed in international and state-level diplomatic and military frameworks. The book also explores themes relating to culture, development, agency and structure. It explores in particular the current mantras associated with the 'liberal peace', which appears to have become a foundational assumption of much of mainstream IR and the policy world. Analyzing war has often led to the dominance of violence as a basic assumption in, and response to, the problems of international relations. This book aims to redress the balance by arguing that IR now in fact offers a rich basis for the study of peace.
