Edgar Morin, born Edgar Nahoum in Paris on July 8, 1921, is an influential French philosopher and sociologist, considered one of the leading theorists of complex thought. His academic career developed primarily within the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), where he served as Director of Research. His monumental work, *La Méthode* (*The Method*), published in six volumes between 1977 and 2004, represents the synthesis of his transdisciplinary approach, aimed at overcoming the fragmentation of knowledge to understand the multidimensionality of phenomena. His other fundamental works include *Man and Death* (1951) and *Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future* (1999), an essay commissioned by UNESCO that has had wide global resonance. For his exceptional intellectual contribution, Morin has received numerous international awards, including dozens of honorary doctorates and the distinction of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour, the highest decoration of the French Republic.
