Disparition. Edgar Morin, penseur de la complexité et passionné de l’humanité ➡️ https://l.humanite.fr/pqe
Edgar Morin, sociologue du temps présent et agitateur d’idées, est mort à l’âge de 104 ans
Edgar Morin, sociologue du temps présent et agitateur d’idées, est mort à l’âge de 104 ans
Il n’aura cessé de penser les événements de l’histoire dans un corps-à-corps haletant avec le siècle. Attaché à relier les savoirs afin d’élaborer sa « pensée complexe », cet intellectuel populaire et profondément humaniste militait pour une insurrection des consciences. Il s’est éteint vendredi 29 mai à Paris, indique son épouse au Monde.
