Mes démons [French]

By Edgar Morin

Rights sold to Brazil, Greece, Italy, Japan and Spain

For Edgar Morin, man is both homo sapiens and homo demens. Man is shaped by reason and by passion, the two driving forces behind human knowledge and human actions.
In this remarkable intellectual autobiography, that combines reflection and confession, Morin wonders about the imaginary, beliefs, feelings, that is, he interrogates those 'demons' that have accompanied him as he developed his thought on complexity.
It is a book by a writer and an historian as well as a thinker. It reflects the sociologist's point of view in its concern for current events and that of the anthropologist interested in myth and the imaginary, as well as that of the author of La M thode, a thinker for whom complexity is the key challenge that the human mind has to face today.

Edgar Morin, emeritus professor at the CNRS, is doctor honoris causa of twenty universities throughout the world. His books have been translated into twenty-seven languages in forty-two countries. His major work La M thode has still a strong influence on modern thinking.
