Résumé

The question of method between simplification and complexity
In the thought of Edgar Morin

Edgar Morin, passionate about all disciplines, rejects the conception of traditional
thought of compartmentalized, mutilated and partitioned knowledge. He aims
through his major work The Method (6 volumes) to reconcile (complexify) the
different disciplines in a complex whole by using an adequate method, known as the complex method. His method brings together and connects the natural sciences, the humanities, sociology, anthropology and philosophy. It thus tends to forge a complex paradigm. The Complex Method is neither against-method nor a-method, nor is it the elaboration of theoretical principles which lead reason towards an absolute truth, but a method which invents its instruments while walking, and spawns its path to understand the complexity of reality and knowledge. It is based on the principles: "dialogic", "recursive" and "hologrammatic". It is a method that connects the disjoint, recomposes the decomposed and embraces the random, the abnormal, the subject and the complicated. All of this, aims to develop critical thinking capable of
criticizing itself, and thus envisioning a newer new scientific mind .
