كتاب رائع للمفكر الكبير إدغار موران حول الأعمدة الرئيسيّة التي يجب أن ينبنيَ عليها أيّ مشروع تربوي في القرن ٢١. يتطرّق هذا الكُتيّب بأسلوب جميل و أخّاذ للتّحدِّيات الإنسانية التي يجب التّركيز عليها في تربية الجيل الجديد و الوسائل التربويّة و العلميّة التي ينبغي الإعتماد عليها مثل الرّجوع إلى تاريخ البشريّة لفهم الحاظر و استنباط العبر للمستقبل، و التركيز على اللايقينيات في سائر العلوم الوضعية لتجنّب التطرّف المعرفي، واستحضار مفهوم الُمرَكَّب في فهم الظّواهر الإنسانية، و أخيراً التشجيع على تعليمٍ...more

School is not, anymore, a industry of workers. Edgar Morin made a lot of lessons to be a more complex person in this new century.

This is basically like applying his book "Method" to the process of learning or education. Like Gregory Bateson and others, Morin is pointing to a revolutionary change to our educational systems. Even taken at a micro level, the way in which we learn as individuals is our own to change. I dont' have to have it offered in a course for me to learn it and I write my own degree. This is they way I have lived my life. This book touches on a few key concepts. It is amazingly short, less than 100 pages...more

This is a compelling small book published by UNESCO. It contains 7 crucial essays in philosophy of education, ranging from discussion about paradigm to the discussion of of ethics. "Complexity" is the sacred word the author keeps turning to many times.

I regard reading this book as passport to enter the 21st century multicultural, multidiscipline & multicentric world. Read this book if you want to raise your awareness of the zeitgesit of our century.
