At a time when the serious health, economic, and political difficulties facing the modern world easily lend themselves to a diagnosis of complexity, ambiguity still remains regarding the meaning and scope of this judgment. Recent remarks by Edgar Morin provide a suitable pretext to return to the origins of the type of complexity thinking of which he is an ardent defender.

This affirms the originality of the complexity paradigm that the author of the related concept calls for. What is at stake is human education.
