Edgar Morin, French Philosopher and Sociologist, Dies at 105

Edgar Morin, the French philosopher and sociologist known for his work on complexity theory, has died. He was 105. Morin's encyclopedic thought spanned nearly a century, from the 20th into the 21st. He shared intellectual adventures with Cornelius Castoriadis and co-wrote important books with Mauro Ceruti, including "La nostra Europa," which won the Premio La Chiave d'Europa 2026 from the Associazione La Nuova Europa and the Comune di Ventotene just three months before his death. Morin continued to encourage Ceruti and others to write until the end.
