This book by Edgar Morin is an introduction to complex thought, eliminating illusions and misunderstandings. Complexity is not a magic formula, but a way to understand phenomena that resist scientific efforts. The reader will feel the author thinking and maturing ideas, dialoguing with the past, present, and future. It is a book for those who wish to escape reductionism and fear the delusions of philosophers locked in the adoration of the word and concept.
Edgar Morin was a French philosopher and sociologist of the theory of information who has been recognised for his work on complexity and "complex thought", and for his scholarly contributions to such diverse fields as media studies, politics, sociology, visual anthropology, ecology, education, and systems biology. He held two bachelors degrees, one in history and geography and one in law, and never did a Ph.D.
