«La Tête bien faite. Repenser la réforme, réformer la pensée» is the essay by Edgar Morin, published by Seuil in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Morin proposes reforming education through a reform of thought, and vice versa. Faced with fragmented knowledge, he takes up the Pascalian idea of parts and the whole to unite scientific and humanist culture. Education must form minds capable of understanding the human condition, confronting uncertainty, and exercising citizenship.
The work belongs to the «L'Histoire immédiate» collection at Seuil, which published it in 1999 in French.
A book for those interested in the philosophy of education, pedagogical reform, and the critique of fragmented knowledge.
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.
