Rationalité et humanisme : la complexité chez Edgar Morin

Abstract

The morinian complex thought, as we can see, stands against western classical rationality. In fact, if one studies that rationality, it becomes obvious that it has developed (and still doing so now-a-days) in a one dimension paradigm. That dimension means disconnection and separability of cognitive mechanisms of the world, organisation and direction of human existence. For instance, the evolution and tenacity of that thought are destructive not only for the whole real but also for humanity. It is then to remove its egocentric and deeply provocative characteristic that Edgar Morin exposed his complexity. As a plural and pluridimensionrationality, morinian complexity then aims at connecting all that were disconnected or separated from the previous one so as to reach a more improved comprehension of things. It also aims at leading to a less destructive humanity and happier common life among human beings
