by Edgar Morin

"Method: The Nature of Nature" is the first of several volumes exposing Edgar Morin's general systems view on life and society. The present volume maintains that the organization of all life and society necessitates the simultaneous interplay of order and disorder. All systems, physical, biological, social, political and informational, incessantly reshape part and whole through feedback, thereby generating increasingly complex systems. For continued evolution, these simultaneously complementary, concurrent, and antagonistic systems require a priority of love over truth, of subject over object, of Sy-bernetics over cybernetics.… (more)

Book description
Nous avons besoin de ce qui nous aide à penser par nous-mêmes : une méthode. Nous avons besoin d'une méthode de connaissance qui traduise la complexité du réel, reconnaisse l'existence des êtres, approche le mystère des choses.

La méthode de la complexité qui s'élabore dans ce premier volume demande :

– de concevoir la relation entre ordre/désordre/organisation et d'approfondir la nature de l'organisation ;

– de ne pas réduire un objet à ses éléments constitutifs ni l'isoler de son environnement ;

– de ne pas dissocier la problème de la connaissance de la nature de celui de la nature de la connaissance. Tout objet doit être conçu dans sa relation avec un sujet connaissant, lui-même enraciné dans une culture, une société, une histoire.
