In 'The Way', Edgar Morin invites us to reflect on the future of humanity and the possible ways to avoid the disasters that threaten it. Through a deep analysis of globalization, westernization and development, Morin shows us how interdependence and separation coexist in a world full of conflicts and crises. The author raises the need to change course and build a practicable way that leads us to a social metamorphosis, inspired by the archaic societies of hunter-gatherers. This book is a call to action to transform our society and build a more promising future.
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.
