Edgar Morin

424 books374 followers
Edgar Morin (born Edgar Nahoum) is a French philosopher and sociologist who has been internationally recognized 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 holds degrees in history, economics, and law. Though less well known in the United States due to the limited availability of English translations of his over 60 books, Morin is renowned in the French-speaking world, Europe, and Latin America.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Morin's family migrated from the Greek town of Salonica to Marseille and later to Paris, where Edgar was born. He first became tied to socialism in connection with the Popular Front and the Spanish Republican Government during the Spanish Civil War.

When the Germans invaded France in 1940, Edgar fled to Toulouse, where he assisted refugees and committed himself to Marxist socialism. As a member of the French Resistance he adopted the pseudonym Morin, which he would use for the rest of his life. He joined the French Communist Party in 1941. In 1945, Morin married Violette Chapellaubeau and they lived in Landau, where he served as a Lieutenant in the French Occupation army in Germany.

In 1946, he returned to Paris and gave up his military career to pursue his activities with the Communist party. Due to his critical posture, his relationship with the party gradually deteriorated until he was expelled in 1951 after he published an article in Le Nouvel Observateur. In the same year, he was admitted to the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS).

Morin founded and directed the magazine Arguments (1954–1962). In 1959 his book Autocritique was published.

In 1960, Morin travelled extensively in Latin America, visiting Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Mexico.He returned to France where he published L'Esprit du Temps.

That same year, French sociologist Georges Friedmann brought him and Roland Barthes together to create a Centre for the Study of Mass Communication that, after several name-changes, became the Edgar Morin Centre of the EHESS, Paris.

Beginning in 1965, Morin became involved in a large multidisciplinary project, financed by the Délégation Générale à la Recherche Scientifique et Technologique in Plozévet.

In 1968, Morin replaced Henri Lefebvre at the University of Nanterre. He became involved in the student revolts that began to emerge in France. In May 1968, he wrote a series of articles for Le Monde that tried to understand what he called "The Student Commune." He followed the student revolt closely and wrote a second series of articles in Le Monde called "The Revolution without a Face," as well as co-authoring Mai 68: La brèche with Cornelius Castoriadis and Claude Lefort.

In 1969, Morin spent a year at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California.

In 1983, he published De la nature de l’URSS, which deepened his analysis of Soviet communism and anticipated the Perestroika of Mikhail Gorbachev.

Morin was married to Johanne Harrelle, with whom he lived for 15 years.

In 2002, Morin participated in the creation of the International Ethical, Scientific and Political Collegium.

In addition to being the UNESCO Chair of Complex Thought, Morin is known as a founder of transdisciplinarity and holds honorary doctorates in a variety of social science fields from 21 universities (Messina, Geneva, Milan, Bergamo, Thessaloniki, La Paz, Odense, Perugia, Cosenza, Palermo, Nuevo León, Université de Laval à Québec, Brussels, Barcelona, Guadalajara, Valencia, Vera Cruz, Santiago, the Catholic University of Porto Alegre, the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, and Candido Mendes University Rio de Janeiro.

«Δεν υπάρχει καμία εγγύηση ενάντια στην αφομοίωση: με μια έννοια, όλα μπορούν να αφομοιωθούν και όλα αφομοιώνονται αργά ή γρήγορα. Ο Πομπιντού παραθέτει Απολινέρ, ο Βαλντέκ Ροσέ αυτοαποκαλείται κομμουνιστής, για τον Λένιν στήθηκε μαυσωλείο, εκδότες γίνονται πλούσιοι πουλώντας Φρόιντ, η Πρωτομαγιά είναι επίσημη αργία. Οι αφομοιωτές όμως τελικά αφομοιώνουν μόνο πτώματα. Όσο εμείς είμαστε ζωντανοί, η φωνή του Απολινέρ θα μας μιλά πάντα όπως την πρώτη φορά, τα λόγια του Κομμουνιστικού μανιφέστου θα μας συγκινούν πάντα, κάνοντας μας να διαβλέπουμε την άβυσσο της ιστορίας, το «Ξαναπάρτε ο,τι σας έχουν πάρει» θα αντηχεί πάντα στ’ αυτιά μας, το «Όπου ήταν Αυτό, πρέπει Εγώ να γίνει» θα μας θυμίζει πάντα την ανυπέρβλητη απαίτησή του, το αίμα των εργατών του Σικάγο θα μας συγκλονίζει πάντα, φωτίζοντας συγχρόνως το βλέμμα μας. Όλα μπορούν να αφομοιωθούν εκτός από ένα πράγμα, τη δική μας στοχαστική, κριτική, αυτόνομη δραστηριότητα.»
