Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future - Edgar Morin

Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future - Edgar Morin - Volumen, TL, author of a prolific and eclectic, Edgar Morin gives us here a stimulating reflection on what should be an education adapted to the complexity of the new world. Thus, a transdisciplinary approach is essential to understand the problems in their entirety. We must gather knowledge dispersed in each discipline to "teach the human condition and the identity landed." Similarly, instead of reducing education to the transmission of established knowledge, often in a deterministic conception of social evolution, it is best to explain the method of production of knowledge, "knowledge of knowledge", highlighting the uncertainties, "the errors and illusions" inherent in scientific research. We can only share this vision synthetic knowledge that happily marry the contributions of the natural sciences and the humanities. It remains to imagine the concrete in the school and university curricula and ways of working. Implicitly, Morin calls for a profound reform of the school. - Gery Dumoulin
