Quotes by Edgar Morin (?)

“L’imagination, l’illumination, la création, sans lesquelles le progrès des sciences n’aurait pas été possible, n’entraient dans la science qu’en catimini : elles n’étaient pas logiquement repérables, et toujours épistémologiquement condamnables. On en parlait dans les biographies des grands savants, jamais dans les manuels et les traités, dont pourtant la sombre compilation, comme les couches souterraines de charbon, était constituée par la fossilisation de la compression de ce qui, au premier chef, avait été fantaisies, hypothèses, prolifération d’idée, invention, découvertes.”
― Edgar Morin, Introduction à la pensée complexe

“Estamos completamente imersos neste mundo que é o dos nossos sofrimentos, das nossas felicidades e dos nossos amores. Não sentir é evitar o sofrimento mas também o regozijo. Quanto mais aptos estamos para a felicidade mais aptos estamos para a infelicidade.”
― Edgar Morin, Amor, Poesia, Sabedoria

“Une des conquêtes préliminaires dans l'étude du cerveau humain est de comprendre qu'une de ses supériorités sur l'ordinateur est de pouvoir travailler avec de l'insuffisant et du flou (...). Il faut reconnaître des phénomènes, comme liberté ou créativité, inexplicables hors du cadre complexe qui seul permet leur apparition. p50”
