To Edgar Morin, being “undisciplined” was the breath of life. With his continual desire to learn, to open up new ground without regard for established codes or boundaries between academic disciplines, Edgar Morin was a master of the “undisciplined,” an embodiment of curiosity to whom labels were an irrelevance. This article explores his editorial career, at Le Monde in particular, in which he invented a style that combines reporting, sociological enquiry and analysis, as exemplified in 1997, when he agreed to chair the panel for the “ Le Monde Award for Academic Research” in the human sciences— provided that the appointment would promote the idea of interdisciplinarity.
