Wikipedia description:

Edgar Morin (; French: [ɛdɡaʁ mɔʁɛ̃]; né Nahoum; 8 July 1921 – 29 May 2026) was a French philosopher and sociologist of the theory of information who has been recognised for his work on complexity and Complex Thought, and for his scholarly contributions to such diverse fields as media studies, politics, sociology, visual anthropology, ecology, education, and systems biology. He held two bachelors degrees, one in history and geography and one in law, and never did a Ph.D. During his academic career, Morin was primarily associated with the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Although less well known in the Anglophone world due to the limited availability of English translations of his over 60 books, Morin is renowned in the French-speaking world, Europe, and Latin America.
