Edgar Morin (French: [mɔʁɛ̃]; born Edgar Nahoum; 8 July 1921 – 29 May 2026) was a French philosopher and sociologist. He was known 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.
Morin held degrees in history, economics, and law. Though less well known in the United States due to the limited of English translations of his over 60 books, Morin was known in the French-speaking world, Europe, and Latin America.
Morin died in Paris on 29 May 2026, at the age of 104.[9][10]
